ORANGE PECAN CHICKEN WITH RICE

This was a recipe that I tossed together after talking with my friend Cheryl. Hers is a bit different, though it was the inspiration. The larger the can of mandarin oranges, the better, but using three small cans will do. If you don't have a garlic press, diced garlic will work.
