Prepare Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, minced garlic, paprika, black pepper, orange marmalade, and vinegar. Mix well to create a thick, flavorful sauce.
-
Prepare Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a rack set on a deep cookie sheet.
-
Brush Chicken: Generously brush both sides of the chicken breasts with the prepared mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Bake First Round: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, turn the chicken breasts and baste them with the sauce once again.
-
Continue Baking: Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
-
Final Touch: Remove the chicken from the rack and place them directly on the cookie sheet. By this time, the mixture on the sheet will have browned and thickened. Brush this browned, thickened mixture onto the chicken, coating them well.
-
Finish Baking: Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or additional orange slices for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- For a touch of freshness, squeeze some fresh orange juice over the chicken before serving.
- Serve with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Prepare to indulge in a symphony of flavors with this Tropical Chicken recipe. Whether it’s a busy weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress even the most discerning palates. Enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, sour, and savory notes in every bite!
