BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
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!

ROASTED ORANGE ROSEMARY HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN
This is always a hit when I make it for dinner parties and Boxing Day dinner because the chicken is always fall-off-the-bone juicy and people love the glaze. People always go for seconds! You may quarter 2 chickens instead if you aren't able to get just legs from your butcher, but I find the legs are juicier and save money. Serve this dish with fragrant rice and dilled carrots or roasted asparagus.

ORANGE-HONEY GLAZED CHICKEN BREASTS
This is sort of an American-ized version of the French Duck a l'orange. When reducing the glaze in step 4, remember that the skillet handle will be hot; use an oven mitt. To make sure the chicken cooks evenly, buy breasts that are similar in size-about 12 ounces apiece. If the glaze looks dry during baking, add up to 2 tablespoons of juice to the pan. If your skillet is not ovenproof, brown the chicken breasts and reduce the glaze as instructed, then transfer the chicken and glaze to a 13 by 9-inch baking dish and bake (don't wash the skillet). When the chicken is fully cooked, transfer it to a plate to rest and scrape the glaze back into the skillet to be reduced. This recipe was adapted from Cook's Illustrated, published Sept. 2007

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place flour in pie plate, then season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working with one chicken breast at a time, coat chicken with flour, patting off excess.
- Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts skin-side down; cook until well browned and most of fat has rendered from skin, 8 to 14 minutes. (If after 3 minutes you don't hear definite sizzling, increase heat to medium-high. If after 6 minutes chicken is darker than lightly browned, reduce heat slightly.) Turn chicken and lightly brown other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plate.
- Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pan. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add orange juice mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup (heatproof spatula should leave slight trail when dragged through glaze), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and tilt to one side so glaze pools in corner of pan. Using tongs, roll each chicken breast in pooled glaze to coat evenly and place skin-side down in skillet.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until thickest part of breasts registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes, turning chicken skin-side up halfway through cooking. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 5 minutes. Return skillet to high heat (be careful-handle will be very hot) and cook glaze, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy (heatproof spatula should leave wide trail when dragged through glaze), about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Spoon 1 teaspoon glaze over each breast and serve, passing remaining glaze at table.

BREADED ORANGE GLAZED CHICKEN
Adopted from Kraft Magazine. A nice change of pace from the standard baked breaded chicken. Usually I don't worry about how to serve a dish but they recommended making a really light dressing and placing the chicken on a bed of spinach leaves with this dressing. It was yummy and I'm glad I took that extra step.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Spread chicken breasts with 2 tbls of the marmalade.
- Empty coating mix into shallow dish and add chicken, turning to evenly coat both sides.
- Place chicken in a 13x9" baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (180°F).
- Mix dressing and remaining marmalade and add to spinach; tossing to coat.
- Place spinach evenly on 4 serving plates.
- Place one chicken breast on each plate and add mandarin oranges around the edges of the plate, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right oranges. For the best flavor, use navel oranges, as they are sweeter and less tart than other varieties.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the glaze.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice are all great options.
Conclusion:
Baked orange glazed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy glaze adds a wonderful flavor to the chicken, and the chicken itself is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
