Biggest Loser Orange Chicken

The Biggest Loser - Mandarin Orange Chicken

3 Tbs frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 Tbs lower sodium soy sauce
1 Tbs minced fresh garlic
1 Tbs hot sesame oil (I didn't have sesame oil, but I did have peanut oil. I googled a substitution for sesame oil and peanut oil was it! BONUS!)
1 tsp garlic chili paste (found in asian section in grocery store)
3/4 c canned mandarin oranges in juice
6 4oz chicken breasts (I'd use tenders)
Add Cooking Step Directions
1. In a large resealable bag, mix the juice concentrate, soy sauce, garlic, oil, and chili paste. Gently stir in the oranges and their juice. Add the chicken, submerging it in marinade. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator at least 6 hours or overnight, rotating once or twice.

2. Preheat oven to 400. Transfer chicken to a 13x9 baking dish in a single layer. Pour the marinade on top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink on top. Ovens may vary with time. I had mine in for an hour.

This recipe was really good! and even better since it was less calories. I served with Ham fried rice made with brown rice. Enjoy!
