Our Orange Chicken is a sweet alternative to your ordinary chicken dinner. Don't be surprised if it quickly becomes a family favorite.

What You'll Need

1 (3-pound) chicken, cut into 10 pieces and skin removed

I have made this recipe twice, it is so good. Super easy. I like to add more marmalade than the recipe calls for.

Great question! Yes, chicken breasts can be substituted and considered a diabetic recipe. Remember to pour the mixture on in the beginning, and only bake for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!
