This was an interesting dish to make and eat once, but not something I would make a second time. I think it might have been better with a few things to add crunch.

I brought this to a baby shower last week and it was a BIG hit! Everyone wanted the recipe. I did make a few minor changes however. As another reviewer noted, the sauce was a little thick so I added the juice of the orange I used for the orange rind and it was a bit tart so I added a few teaspons of balsamic vinegar. I used Raspberry Wine Vinegar (Reese's) which I think has more flavor than regular Raspberry Vinegar. Also, I marinated the chicken breasts in a Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing (Wishbone, Kraft, etc.) for about an hour and cooked them on the grill. I used a rice that was a combination of wild, red, white and brown (Texmati). It comes in a plastic bottle/jar. It was very nice because it doesn't stick together. The marmalade was the secret ingredient that no one could figure out. Husbands liked it too!

Basically I used this recipe as a template, cutting it drastically to serve 2. I did not us any rice, plus I had pre-cooked chicken on hand. Used most of the prescribed ingredients, except the vinegar. I substituted some mayo in the dressing in lieu of vinegar, (my husband has a huge aversion to vinegar). All in all, it worked out quite well. I served the salad @ room temp in raddichio cups, garnished with basil and parsley. A nice cool salad for a warm evening!

My husband is a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken and cut down the dressing a little bit. It was a delicious side dish!

I liked this but thought the orange flavor was too strong. I would probably omit the orange zest next time. It also made way too much dressing - about half would have been plenty.

I made this as a side dish (I shredded the chicken and mixed it in) and took it to a pot-luck dinner. I had 2 people ask for the recipe. It is different, and has a great mix of flavors. It is not the kind of thing I would make as a regular dish, but it is great for a special meal.

My boyfriend hated this dish. He thought the grapes were disgusting and the cold dish idea was terrible. I didn't mind it, but I don't like it as much as the other reviewers.

I found this recipe while looking for something to use up grapes. I made it for my picky family (myself included) with plain white rice, chicken, grapes, and pecans. We all love it! We tried the dressing but didn't like it, and I'm not sure what else would work as a dressing for picky eaters like us. It's nice and light for summer.
