You'll love this unexpected baked orange chicken, in which humble chicken breasts are marinated in a sweet, tangy sauce and coated with orange marmalade.

Ingredients

1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
2 tablespoons orange marmalade

Directions

In a small bowl, combine orange juice and soy sauce. Pour 1/4 cup marinade into a shallow dish; add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. Place chicken and reserved marinade in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Spoon marmalade over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

This baked orange chicken is a quick and elegant recipe. It can easily be doubled or tripled for company. I like to serve mine with baked potatoes. —Pamela Siple, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
