Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
Instructions
Combine orange juice and soy sauce in a small bowl.
Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch thick slices.
Put chicken in a shallow glass dish. Pour 1/4 cup marinade over the pieces. Turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Refrigerate remaining marinade; you’ll use this later.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Remove chicken from the marinating dish and put into a baking dish lined with parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick spray. Discard the marinade that the chicken was in.
Pour the remaining fresh marinade over the chicken and toss to coat.
Spoon orange marmalade over the chicken.
Bake chicken, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the chicken juices run clear.
