BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken image

One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make the cooking process easier and quicker.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the chicken breasts: This will help the orange glaze penetrate the chicken and ensure that it is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Baste the chicken with the orange glaze frequently: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

This recipe for chicken breasts with orange glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the orange glaze is sweet and tangy.
