Preparation

Step 1

1. Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or bowl. In a small bowl, mix together orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil,  paprika and red pepper flakes. Pour marinade over chicken and move around to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning once, to coat. Can be marinated overnight.

2. Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil.  Remove chicken from marinade and add to pan. Don’t throw out marinade. Cover and cook chicken on each side about 5 minutes.

3. While chicken is cooking, add marinade to a small saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes to cook and to thicken a bit.

Makes 4 servings, (each serving, 4 ounces chicken and some sauce)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake chicken in marinade for about 30 minutes.

Cooking Tips

To Grill: On greased grill, cook chicken over hot coals 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until done. Brush frequently with marinade while cooking.
