“To be honest, I was SO skeptical about this recipe. Mandarin oranges with chicken & these seasonings did not seem to mix in my head, but I am SO GLAD that we tried these tonight! I was looking for an easy meal, and this was definitely one of the easiest (&” — a cook, 5.0★
“I made these for the first time tonight. The instructions were easy to follow and the meal was fairly quick to prepare. My family thoroughly enjoyed them and I will be making these again. I used a red pepper instead of green, as that is what I had at the house” — a cook, 5.0★
