This recipe is so simple and it is one of my family's favorites! The chicken makes a great main course but it also is a wonderful addition to a green salad and makes a delightful chicken salad. Feel free to add broccoli, carrots, onions, potatoes, or celery for a change. Great for the crock pot, too. Thank you Aunt Jackie! Hope you enjoy as much as I do!!! Ingredients:
1 (3 lb) whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces or 1 (3 lb) your favorite boneless chicken pieces |
1 (12 ounce) can orange soda (do not use diet) |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray 9x13 baking dish with Pam.
2. Place chicken pieces in dish.
3. Mix together the orange soda and soy sauce and pour over chicken.
4. Add pineapple on top.
5. Bake for about 45 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165F-170°F and juices run clear. (Start checking at 35 minutes to insure you do not overcook. Times will depend on bone-in or boneless, too.).
6. Season to taste-I usually add some garlic and onion powder, salt, pepper-and serve over rice.
