This recipie is one I found on the internet and tried and it has now become an absolute favorite. It is a quick meal but an elaborate one but done so easily. It takes about 5 min prep time and about 45 minutes cooking time. I love it because when your busy it takes nothing to put together and yet at the end you have a wonderful meal.
ORANGE JUICE CHICKEN
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup packed brown sugar, divided
2 cups orange juice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread mustard evenly over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped onion. Coat lightly with 1/4 cup of the brown sugar and pour in enough orange juice to cover chicken. Add butter on top.
3 Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, then remove leftover sauce from baking dish and pour into a saucepan. Sprinkle chicken with remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and return to oven.
4 Whisk flour into sauce in saucepan. Add any leftover orange juice and heat on high until the sauce thickens. Remove chicken from oven and place on a serving dish; pour sauce over the chicken or into a gravy boat, and serve.
I like to serve this dish with white rice and peas or carrots. You really should give this recipie a try. I have even saved the leftover sauce and put it in the freezer and later used it as a marinade.
