Boneless chicken is cooked with vegetables and topped with the complementary flavors of adobo seasoning and orange marmalade. This dish is great served over rice!

We really did not enjoy this much. I sounded good since I love citrus and chicken but the flavor just did not do it for me. Read More

this was pretty good. Not quite what I expected and a little too "orangy" but that might have been the brand of marmalade I used. Read More

As far as taste goes this was great! Somehow I ended up with a soupy consistency (probably my own fault). I swear I used 3 cups of water as indicated. I'll definitely try it again maybe with some pineapple added... Read More

My husband and I loved this dish, but there's way, way too much water to make a sauce. I had to drain it before adding the marmalade and more adobo. I suggest only using a cup of H2O and adding more later if you think you need it. Read More

This was delicious. I used an Abodo seasoning recipe from AR and left out the green pepper. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star rating is the water. Yes it is too much. I didn't use the fiull amount and still ended up having to add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. Read More

I cooked this once and never cooked it again. I didn't like the flavor it tasted processed...I think because of the jarred stuff. Read More

This chicken was wonderful. I am new to the kitchen but when I made this for my fiance she wanted second and thirds. Easy to make. Follow the recipe to a T and it will come out good. If you want it to be sweeter just add a little more Orange marmalade. This deserves 5 stars Read More
