Even though I’m not a huge peanut butter fan, I wanted to spice up my usual chocolate chip cookies. After making a few minor changes to my peanut butter cookie recipe, I created some delectable Nutella® chocolate chip cookies. Trying not to eat the entire batch at once is the only challenge.

Reviews
I didnt like it at all. I used smoked paprika instead of regular but dont think that should have given it such a bad taste. I’ve been looking at various recipes now to try and save the sauce to something a bit sweeter.
I read a few reviews. I thickened the glaze a bit with cornstarch in advance after some said it was more like juice. It turned out great! But I love orange chicken with more of a sweet/sour clear sauce. Nothing spicy or special.
First it’s not a glaze it’s a bathtub full of orange juice. Second the oil is ridiculous. 1/4c would be plenty. After cooking, the leftover juice I made an chinese sauce to cover as gravy for rice. Not a bad recipe but didn’t understand why it was posted with so much oil
I agree with all who have said that there is really no glaze. That was disappointing. One-half cup of oil is way too much, it cancels out the orange taste. But the chicken was moist and tasty, and leftovers were great.
Oh, this was so very good! I’ve made it twice so far and everyone wants it again!
I loved this. The chicken comes out moist and perfect. I have made it twice. I did make some changes after reading the reviews. I use half the oil. I made it in a glass baking dish and the sauce was MUCH better. The sauce reduced pefectly. I made it in different metal baking pan and the sauce did not cook down. The meat was perfect and the flavor was great but I did not keep the sauce.
I can’t believe my family not just liked it….they loved it! (My kids are such p.i.t.a.’s when it come to trying new things. Eye roll, here….) u wasn’t expecting much because the reviews were 50/50. But, turned out amazing. I added prunes and dried bing cherries which was awesome. I meant to add some peeled fresh mandarin oranges, but forgot. I’m making again tonight and will try it out this time. Excellent over jasmine rice. (Ps. That’s what a hit this was…I’ve never once left a review for a recipe! So nice job!). Oh yeah- forgot to mention, I also used fresh squeezed orange juice. Not sure if it made a difference or not, but it was awesome!
I should’ve read the reviews before I made this recipe. I was the only one who really liked it. The reviews by my family were “fine” and one person refused to have the sauce. I think the main problem is that there seems to be WAY too much oil in the sauce. It seemed to dilute the flavor. It also definitely isn’t a glaze. It was just liquid. I thickened it after baking which helped a little, and TRIED to skim off the oil…but that didn’t seem to do much. I’d like to try it again with less oil – but I don’t think anyone would eat it after tonight’s dinner unfortunately. On the plus side the chicken came out moist. So maybe the juicy sauce helped with that?
I agree with other reviewers’ comments that this recipe was tasty enough; however, if I were to make it again I’d use only a fraction of the oil. I’d also likely add more cayenne and orange zest, maybe try the cumin for more zing. Tender, tasty but a bit mild.
I didnt have paprika but the chicken was still really good and had great flavor will definitely make again
Great tasting meal and simple preparation! I made some white rice and broccoli to go with the chicken and to mop up the sauce. Placing aluminum foil in the baking tray saved me lots of clean-up!
Followed directions and tasted great. Used fresh mandarin oranges.
I didn’t have vegetable oil, so I used not quite a 1/4 cup of olive oil. I also put the chicken and the sauce in a baggie to marinate for about an hour. It was delicious. The entire family loved it.
I used half chicken thighs and half breasts, I tripled the recipe. It made a delicious dinner for guests !
I made this the other night and my Hubby and I loved it! I made double sauce and served over noodles. Next time I am going to add kale and mushrooms. Great recipe!
This was my first time making orange chicken and it came out absolutely amazing! It was pretty simple to make too!
Not really impressed with this recipe. Though the chicken was nice and moist it lacked flavor to the point that the inside tasted like plain boiled chicken. Followed the recipe exactly and it didn’t even get your typical glaze. Very bland dish.
I used orange jelly and juices. The glaze was great
I just made this and it’s good but I would use lemons instead of orange next time. I did cut the oil in half and used corn starch to thicken sauce after removing cooked chicken. Will do again. Thanks for a simple recipe.
I probably won’t make this again, but if I did, I would brown the chicken and use WAY less oil. What’s the point of using skinless chicken breasts if you use half a cup of oil? The flavors are good but the sauce doesn’t cook down, so they are not concentrated. Ultimately, this is a bland, high-fat meal.
I absolutely love this recipe! We’re having it tonight for dinner!
