Oranges and olives are elegantly paired in this different but delicious dish. The chicken is marinated, then cooked slowly in a flavorful sauce, so it stays moist. -Aney Chatterson, Soda Springs, Idaho

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was thick and flavorful.

This was the worst mandarin chicken I've ever had. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland and tasteless.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
