Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2 inch wide strips
1/4 c olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp orange zest
1 pkg 8-oz. pkg. yellow rice mix with seasoning packet (measure water according to package instructions taking into account orange juice as part of cooking liquid)
1/2 c orange juice

1 c fresh cilantro, chopped
orange wedge to garnish

Steps:

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the rice was bland.
