I was not so sure about this recipe at first. I think it was the taste of the sauce without adding the chicken first. My husband told me to just try it anyways. We really enjoyed the change, it was very good, a little different, but tasty and a nice change from regular old sauteed chicken. We would just like to say to all of the people out there who poured it down the sink without tasting the full effect.....you dont know what you missed!!! Thanks Sarah

Although simple to make with a nice presentation over a bed of rice, my salt lover thought something missing. I personally thought that it was refreshingly light and tasty. I will definitely make it again. Thanks.

I read all the reviews and decided to try the recipe anyway. I've made it twice now, and it's not that bad at all. We actually liked it! Here's what I did differently to make it good: I chunked the chicken and rolled it lightly in flour mixed with seasoned salt, garlic powder and black pepper. I sauteed it in olive oil the first time (not bad) and sesame oil the second time I made it (next time I'll mix vegetable oil and sesame oil -- just sesame oil had a good flavor, but it didn't brown as well as I'd like). I used apricot preserves instead of orange marmalade (I had that in the fridge) and added minced garlic, crushed red pepper and a few glugs of soy sauce to the sauce. It's really not a bad recipe -- a bit sweet but good. My husband loves this recipe, especially since I made rice to go with it for the extra sauce.

This was good. I sprayed my skillet with Pam Spray. I did add some garlic powder and Old Bay Seasoning to the chicken. You can also use the light marmalade for low fat. I did cook my chicken longer than the recipe stated. Thanks!

This was just ok. I love marmalade but it was a little too sweet and perhaps too much flour, as it was very pasty. I should've added some water at some point, since I had no more broth available. Chicken definitely needs to cook longer. MIGHT try again but not until I try altering it somehow. Easy to make.

Sorry but this one is not staying in my recipe box! It is awful! Very bland and the sauce was a very pasty version of BAD gravy!

I'm going to be honest, this was horrible. I didn't even serve it. I had the chicken sauteed, and the sauce simmering and it smelled awful, I was ready to add the chicken but decided to give the sauce a taste first, I'm sure glad I did, It was the worst. I thought it was maybe just me so I called my husband over and made him try it. After that it went straight down the drain and I made the chicken into a different recipie. I love marmelade so that was not the problem. It was the combination of all of the flavors, they just did not go together I thought.

As written this is mearely average at best. I also think the cooking times are way off! You will need to cook the chicken much longer. I added some red pepper and thyme and still found it bland!

I served this dish to company and got rave reviews. I took advice of other reviews and added green and red bell peppers as well as a little extra lemon juice. We didn't find this dish very sweet at all. The difference in sweetness may be due to the type of marmalade that is used. We found the dish refreshingly tart. Thank you for sharing!

It is super easy and fast but way too sweet for our liking. We added dashes of salt, chopped green and red bell peppers and some minced garlic just to make it less sweet. I would suggest reducing the maralade and/or added some soy sauce or something to reduce the sweetness.

I made this recipe for my family tonight. I was expecting it to turn out the way it looks in Chinese resturaunts. Now don't be discouraged to make this recipe just because it looks unpleasant. The taste was very yummy and I would make it again. I only added a pinch of pepper because it is not my favorite taste. I added a little more Lemon Juice that the recipe called for. There was a lot of sauce, but when served over rice it is just right!!

Very good sauce. Added some garlic and hot peppers to it to recreate the orange chicken sauce at our favorite, though now closed, Chinese restaurant.
