Followed the recipe as outlined above, looking forward to a refreshing evening meal, but.....it turned out to be not very appetising; the 'orange' sauce didn't thicken very well and was VERY overpowering totally masking the taste of the chicken. Wouldn't recommend.

Hi Kam1005,

If you want it to taste less of orange, try using water instead of the orange juice and/or omitting the orange zest.

Of course, this would make it less of an 'orange sauce' but maybe more like what you're looking for.

Since the sauce didn't thicken, it probably wasn't cooked for a long enough time. Cooking for a longer time might also help take of some of the edge of the orange zest.

Happy Holidays!
