Baked Orange Chicken
Baked Orange Chicken is a quick and easy weeknight dinner! Ready in just one hour of time and loaded with flavor! Every bite has moist chicken paired perfectly with a lightly sweetened orange glaze.
I love looking for new ways to cook chicken. Since chicken breasts are so versatile to work with, trying out new flavors and recipes is never an issue.
What I love about this baked chicken recipe is its simple ingredients with HUGE flavors. The orange zest paired with the red chili flakes adds a subtle sweet heat as well.
Since I’m always looking for ways to eat healthier and fuel my body, pairing this baked chicken dish with cooked broccoli totally fits the bill. (and if you’re feeding this to the kids as well – more veggies is always a good idea!)
