Expert Tips

Couscous is granular semolina, the coarsely ground durum wheat used for pasta dough. Very quick to cook, couscous is convenient for weeknight meals because it does not need to be drained.

Marmalade - from the Portuguese word for quince jam, marmalade - is a fruit preserve containing pieces of citrus rind. Seville orange marmalade is the most popular type. Look for marmalade with the other preserves, jams and jellies in the grocery store.

Accompany this dish with steamed green beans and a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and fresh Parmesan cheese.

This Orange Chicken was delicious and easy to make. I did, however, add 6 tablespoons of orange marmalade when all was said and done. Also I covered the chicken and sauce while it was simmering so it would thicken up a bit.

I could not find the couscous stuff at my store at all so we just used rice... my dish was kind of runny but I don't know if the couscous would have helped soak up all the juices. Next time I make it, I'm going to add more marmalade. You could tell it was suppose to be orange chicken but I think I needed a little more orange with mine.
