This is a great recipe! I cut the chicken into little strips. I also used 1 cup of orange juice and let the sauce reduce a little until it was thick and sticky. Served over rice with some chow mein noodles sprinkled over the top this is a great weeknight meal!
After reading the reviews I modified this because my husband is a "texture" guy and I didn't think he would like chunks of oranges. Instead of the mandarin oranges and orange juice I added orange zest (approx. 1 tsp) and then squeezed 2/3 C juice from the oranges and added that to the sauce. This added the perfect amount of orange flavor without the extra calories of the orange marmalade alternative. I also cooked the chicken in olive oil and sesame oil instead of butter for a more asian flavor. I tossed in some broccoli toward the end and let the sauce thicken. It tastes better than takeout! You might want to toss in the cashews right before serving (or if reheating in the microwave add after nuking) because they lose their crunchiness if they get cooked too long or microwaved.

My husband loved this! It was orangey without being too sweet. For homemade chinese food it was pretty easy too.
This is easy and delish. A nice light meal great for summer dinner or company sunday lunch.
Great sauce! I used only two chicken breasts but the full recipe of sauce. Glad I did because my husband & I couldn't get enough of it. I added garlic powder salt and pepper to the flour and more OJ than the recipe called for (added more as the sauce reduced). Just the right combination of sweet and spicy. THanks!!!
I dont have any kids but i did i think htis would be okay for them. its really easy and quick but its not the authentic chinese taste if that's what youre looking for. you can try putting orange zest of you dont have any mandarin oranges. its an average american version of orange chicken.
This recipe was great I used chicken tenders instead of breasts. If you can't find tenders cut breasts in 1 1/2 in strips.
Wonderful! When I have a craving for the deep-fried version at Chinese take-outs I make this. I add a little Chinese Five Spice powder to deepen the flavor.
This dish was really good. First I cut the chicken into 3-inch strips. Then I added fresh little red peppers (about 5)and some mushrooms for color. I also used alittle bit of the orange's juice as the sauce and let it simmer for alittle bit while stirring. It came our a good consistency; kinda sticky thick. The pepers give it a good zing. For someone who said that it didn't taste "authentic". It's because it's not.
