• 1 head cabbage
• 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, see shopping tips

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9 x 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. Place chicken in dish. Sprinkle onions all over. Combine soy sauce and next 5 ingredients (through garlic); pour over chicken.

3. Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Check for doneness.

4. Pour sauce in small pot. In a small dish, mix the cornstarch with a little water to dissolve. If using flour, not necessary. Whisk it into the sauce. Bring heat up to a boil, turn down to low and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens a bit. Pour sauce over chicken.

5. Add cabbage to a microwave safe bowl and cook in microwave for 2-3 minutes until soft.
