This recipe is great to serve for large groups because it can be easily doubled and takes little time or effort to prepare. Even my husband likes to make this chicken dish, and he usually hates to cook! &mdash;Karen Gardiner, Eutaw, Alabama

Sunshine Chicken

curry powder

salt, divided

pepper

chicken breast

orange juice

rice

water

brown sugar

mustard

fresh parsley

32g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 4 lean meat

Combine curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; rub over both sides of chicken. In a skillet, combine orange juice, rice, water, brown sugar, mustard and remaining salt. Add chicken; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until chicken juices run clear, 20-25 minutes.

Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until all liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

I made this last night exactly as written (using 2.5 tsp curry powder and Trader Joe's Basmati Rice) and we LOVED it! It was easy to prepare, had a delicious (yes, bright!) flavor, and was the perfect amount for 3 hearty appetites. For us, it's a keeper!

My fam LOVED the chicken but found the rice to be WAY TOO SWEET! We are more of a savory fam. I tried to dull the sweetness, but was unable to. I would make this again, but would change the rice to only include water, chicken bouillon, salt, parsley and after tasting,.possibly garlic/onion powder....but it will depend how the chicken flavors meld with the new rice spices.

Not good. Too sweet. Made just as recipe stated. Chicken was a little dry. Will not make again.

We just did not care for this at all. Made the recipe as written and the flavour left alot to be desired.

You could probably, in place of orange juice, use a fraction of lemon juice, to convert it from orange to lemon flavored chicken. I would skip the curry altogether. If you use enough curry, then you can skip the chicken and no one will notice it isn't there. Sherlock Holmes didn't like it; and neither do I (joke).

This was very quick. easy and delicious.  I cut the recipe down to 1/3 because I was making it only for two persons.  I used chicken broth instead of water, which gave it a little more flavor.  I cooked it for 25 minutes covered, just as the recipe directed, then I checked the internal chicken temperature and it was at exactly at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.  Altogether, very satisfying; I will be making this again.

I made this for my husband and it turned out really good. I did make some changes based off other reviews stating it was too sweet. I used a 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1 3/4 cup chicken stock and 1/2 TBSP brown sugar. This was easy to make as well and will be on my monthly menu.

I have been looking for this Uncle Ben's recipe AGAIN, for years!!  yay!!  We Love it too!  I add extra S&B Curry & br. sugar and Pineapple chunks and whatever else we're in the mood for!  Thanks!!

I have made this chicken dish for decades. It is important not to overcook it as the chicken will become  dry. I use boneless, skinless breast halves. I tried it with tenders and they were too small and overcooked. Fresh orange juice is best and I have added the juice of a small lemon or lime several times. My husband does not care for citrus flavored proteins, so I make it when I have guests. It is good very gently re-heated in order to keep the chicken tender. Curry can be adjusted for personal preferences.

OJ and brown sugar made it a little too sweet but chicken was nice and tender

My husband and I thought this recipe was great! I was looking for something quick and easy, and this was perfect. Other than cutting the recipe in half for the two of us, I made it as written. I will cut back a bit on the pepper next time, and look forward to making it again!

The caveat here is that I added onion, garlic, celery, red bell pepper and carrots used seasoning as stated and orange juice and water. I cubed my chicken and sautéed it with the spice in olive oil. With those changes this is a keeper

The rice was way too sweet to enjoy. I wouldn’t make this again

Great recipe!  Family absolutely loved it

This orange chicken is a pleasant change of pace for chicken!!

This dish was delicious! The curry taste is very strong, so don't overdo it.

We really like the flavor of curry, so I had high hopes for this recipe.  In our opinion, the orange juice trumped any other flavors!  If I make it again, I would exchange chicken broth for the orange juice and probably add more curry powder.

Very good, easy and quick. I used Uncle Ben's quick long grain & wild rice.

I made this a while back  and it came up on my feed today.  I agree with the previous review.  The orange was over powering, the curry was very bland.   There are much better dishes out there. I threw most of it out.
