Roasted Orange Chicken


This is a really easy chicken recipe with a lot of flavor. I love the little pieces of orange rind that stick on top of the chicken- so good. I saw it originally on Robin Miller's Food Network show. I always make all eight breasts of chicken because it is so easy and the leftovers are so versatile.

Roasted Chicken with Smokey Orange Sauce

Ingredients
Cooking spray
8 (5-ounce) skinless chicken breast halves (with bone)
Salt and ground black pepper
1 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.

Season chicken all over with salt and black pepper. Arrange chicken in prepared pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine orange marmalade, soy sauce and liquid smoke. Mix until blended. Pour mixture over chicken.

Roast 35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve 4 chicken breast halves with this meal and refrigerate remaining chicken until ready to use.

Yield: 4 servings (with leftovers for additional meals such as Robin's Chicken Quesadillas and Thai Chicken Salad)
