Orange Chicken

By AzWench

I found this recipe several years ago while looking for a new way to prepare chicken. It's become our favorite dinner entree.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1 to 1-1/2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix, crushed
• 1-1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• Orange slices, optional

Preparation

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, beat egg and orange juice. In another bowl, combine stuffing mix, paprika, orange peel and salt.

Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in crumbs, turning to coat well. Pour butter into a 13x9-in. baking dish. Place chicken in baking dish, turning once to butter both sides.

Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Garnish with orange slices if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
