Baked Orange Chicken

Simple chicken dishes rarely taste as good as Orange chicken. Instead of frying, make healthy chicken dishes using your oven. For moist boneless chicken breast and a healthy meal, try this recipe.

Notes

One does not have to flame the chicken. If you wish, use the remaining 1/4 cup orange liquor to baste the roasting chicken.
