Description
This easy 3 Ingredient Orange Chicken is sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor using just orange marmalade, BBQ sauce, and tender chicken. Perfect for busy weeknights!
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
¾ cup orange marmalade
¾ cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the orange marmalade, barbecue sauce, and soy sauce (if using) until fully combined.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
-
Pour the orange marmalade BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
-
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
-
Optional: For a caramelized glaze, broil on high for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Spoon extra sauce from the pan over the chicken for more flavor.
Notes
Swap chicken breasts for boneless thighs for a juicier texture.
