Orange-Chipotle Chicken image

Big on flavor and easy on the cook's time, this orange-chipotle chicken recipe is appealing. The sweet-yet-hot sauce gets its heat from the chipotle pepper. I serve this dish with a side of rice. —Cittie, Tasteofhome.com Community

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said the chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. I think next time I'll try using less chipotle peppers.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The orange flavor really mellowed out the chipotle peppers. I served it over quinoa and it was a healthy and flavorful meal.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and cooked them in a skillet. The sauce was perfect - not too spicy, but still had a nice kick. I served it over rice and it was a delicious and easy weeknight

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner. The chicken is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet with a hint of heat. I love serving it over rice or quinoa, and it's also great for tacos or burritos.
