Orange slices add a refreshing twist to tender, juicy baked chicken-a wonderful meal for company. The appealing glaze coats the poultry with tangy sweetness. Ingredients:
6 bone-in chicken breast halves (7 ounces each), skin removed |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
1 medium navel orange, thinly sliced |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup orange juice |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place chicken in a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine butter, garlic, basil, salt and pepper; drizzle over chicken. Arrange onion and orange slices on top. Bake, uncovered, 50 minutes.
2. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, orange juice and soy sauce until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
3. Drain chicken; brush with orange juice mixture. Bake 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Yield: 6 servings.
