Week 2: Chicken Thighs with Orange Sauce

Chicken Thighs With Orange Sauce

I had tried making orange chicken toward the beginning of our marriage and it didn't turn out well at all. But I thought I would just give it another try with this recipe.

We always just buy a big bag of Costco chicken tenderloins, so most of the recipes I try will use those instead. This ended up working out pretty well, but only needed about 10 minutes to bake. Had a side of rice and green and yellow beans.

          The big problem with this recipe is that it was extremely sweet because of the orange juice concentrate. Next time I will use less brown sugar and see if I can find a good substitute for the orange juice concentrate. It definitely tasted a lot better than the last time we tried orange chicken, though.

          It was good, but it was too sweet. Maybe changing it up a bit, using less sugar would help.
