Sixteenth Century Orange Chicken

"This recipe isn't about fast and easy, it is about making a good chicken dish. This is an excellent dish for when you have some time in the kitchen. I didn't read the recipe really well the first ti..." See moreme I made it, so I kept the chicken on the bone. I've done it the other way, but my husband and I prefer it with my mistake.

Served this over rice for a really nice different way to make chicken in a snap! This makes a quick weeknight meal with a different way to jazz up chicken breasts. Don't forget to add some salt."
