Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk the orange juice, vegetable oil, orange zest, paprika, mustard, and salt in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Arrange the chicken breast halves in a baking dish; pour the orange juice mixture over the chicken.

  4. 4

    Bake the chicken breasts until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes, basting with the orange glaze every 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
