    Delicious! The only modification I made was to add 2 tbs of mustard instead if 1/3 cup. It was easy, quick and both my husband and 12 yr. old loved it. Definitely making this again.

    Hi Chef! I served your Creole Chicken Thighs with Orange-Mustard Sauce with pan browned buttered whole potatoes with onions, paprika, and garlic powder and for the veggies I blanched 1 lbs. of green beans for 5 minutes, then sauteed them with shallots, tossed in crispy bacon and tossed it all with one Tbs of Tamari (like soy sauce but thicker) vinaigrette. Yummy! Even left overs were a hit!

    Margaritte- Thank you for sharing your side dish suggestions! It sounds like you made a wonderful dinner! Thank you for explaining a little about Tamari to help other users. Tamari, found on the International food isle at most grocery stores, is popular in many Asian dishes, it is thick and salty and adds great flavor. It can be used not only in Asian cooking, but added to soups, stews, and salad dressings for a deeper, richer flavor.

    Easy and tasty. The mustard was a little overpowering but the sauce turned out fantastic!

    I had leftover chicken thighs yesterday after making grilled chicken nuggets for the kids (prepping ahead for lunches since school's out), so I used this recipe as a base yesterday when I ran out of time and couldn't get to the store. Did everything as above, but had just run out of mustard so subbed some orange marmalade instead, and also added some soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and a little Sreracha. I also added to the sauce, transferred it to a Dutch oven and toward the end, after I'd made some rice, also threw in some sliced carrots, broccoli and onion. Worked out great, with leftovers for at two lunches for my husband...

    Nice departure from our normal fare. Robust flavor and a crowd pleaser!

    I tried this a couple nights ago. I have kids and unfortunately did not have the exact amount of OJ, so i, but with a little improsation it turned out just fine. had a some cranberry/grape juice, so I figured I would somewhat add that tang similar to OJ. Like most things, I think it tastes even better after it all marinates. I also opted to veg broth and added a couple more things such as orange peel, onion power with parsely, and garlic powder. The gravy from it tastes so yummy over rice! :)
