Place on the rack set over the baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with 2/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze in 5 minutes intervals. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Reserve the remaining glaze for Roasted Asparagus with Orange Glaze.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour the chicken broth into a small roasting pan, and set aside.
- Loosen the skin from the breasts and thighs of the chicken. Stuff the butter pieces evenly underneath the skin of the chicken, and place into the roasting pan. Squeeze the orange halves over the chicken, and stuff the orange halves into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to taste, then rub in the minced garlic. Drizzle the melted butter all over the chicken, then lay the herb sprigs onto the breast and around the legs.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and baste the chicken with the pan juices. Continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 1 to 2 hours. Baste the chicken every 10 to 15 minutes after you uncover it. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest out of the oven for 10 minutes before slicing.

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!

Steps:
- Melt butter in 8-inch skillet or 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook chicken in butter about 15 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when center of thickest piece is cut.
- While chicken is cooking, mix cornstarch and mustard in small bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of orange juice, olive oil, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: Roasting the chicken at a high temperature helps to create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
- Use a roasting pan with a rack: Using a roasting pan with a rack allows the chicken to cook evenly and prevents it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Baste the chicken with the orange glaze: Basting the chicken with the orange glaze during cooking helps to keep it moist and adds extra flavor.
- Roast the sweet potatoes: While the chicken is cooking, roast the sweet potatoes in the same oven. This saves time and energy, and the sweet potatoes will be perfectly cooked when the chicken is done.
- Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes together: Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes together with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.
Conclusion:
This orange glazed roast chicken breasts with sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
