Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In oven-ready tray, combine soy sauce, orange sauce, garlic powder, and half the sesame oil. (For 4 servings, evenly divide ingredients between two trays, using all the sesame oil.)
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper.
Transfer chicken to tray with sauce and turn to evenly coat (divide chicken between two trays for 4 servings). Top with edamame and peanuts.
Cover tray tightly with foil. Bake on middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until chicken is cooked through and edamame are tender, 20-25 minutes. (For 4, bake two trays side by side on middle rack.)
When chicken has 5 minutes left, open package of rice and place in a medium microwave-safe bowl (break up rice using your hands). Add 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until rice is warmed through, 1½-2 minutes. TIP: Microwave times may vary.
Carefully remove plastic wrap (watch out for steam!) and stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4).
Once chicken is done, carefully remove foil from oven-ready tray (watch out for steam!).
Divide rice between plates. Top with chicken, edamame, and peanuts. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from tray and as much Sriracha as you like. Serve.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the taste, though some found it bland or lacking orange flavor. Consider adding extra orange sauce or zest for a bolder citrus kick 🍊.
- Ease of prep: Customers loved the quick and easy preparation, with minimal cleanup thanks to the oven-ready tray.
- Suggestions: For better texture, try searing the chicken before baking. Thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry if it's too watery.
- Portions: Some felt the meal wasn't filling enough; consider adding extra vegetables or increasing the chicken portion.
- Texture: A few found the chicken rubbery; adjust cooking time or method for more tender results. The peanuts added a nice crunch.
Reviews from our home cooks
Very tasty meal, particularly the sauce. Chicken and edamame were perfectly cooked in 20 minutes. Peanuts added a nice crunch. Easy and quick preparation.
Perfect amount of rice and edamame, the flavor was amazing. The sriracha on the side was awesome and nice to have a little spice!
Quick, easy and tasty. I am on the two servings meal plan and easily could have used double the sauce packets.
Nice meal - easy prep. Even my guy who doesn't like edamame - or so he thought- really enjoyed it.
Loved the ease of baking in the enclosed pan. Wish the sauce had more orange flavor. Could not taste it in the cooked meal. The edamame tasted strange. I wonder if it had spoiled. The peanuts were nice.
Very tasty and different!! The sauce was a bit watery so added a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
Although it's chicken and rice this was a different way and very much enjoyed! Loved the quickness of it
Really good meal. Almost as good as my favorite Chinese restaurant. Will order this again. Congrats to the person who came up with this recipe
