ORANGE-BALSAMIC CHICKEN
My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This appears to have come from an advertisement for a Weight Watchers Cookbook called "Quick Cooking for Busy People". I don't know if they used the same point system back then as they do now but this claims to be worth 4 points. Anyway, it's a quick and tasty way to make chicken!

- Brush chicken pieces with glaze after 30 minutes of roasting and every 15 minutes after that.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the orange-balsamic mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, will help to infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning or drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving will help to keep it juicy and tender.
