How to Make Orange Rosemary Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup undiluted orange juice and 2 tablespoons honey.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Brush both sides of 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with melted butter.
  6. Dip each chicken breast into the orange juice and honey mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  7. Dredge the coated chicken breasts in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place chicken breasts side by side in a large, greased baking pan.
  9. Drizzle the remaining orange juice and honey mixture and melted butter over the chicken.
  10. Drain one 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges. Place 3-4 mandarin orange segments on top of each chicken breast.
  11. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped, over the chicken.
  12. Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
  13. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  14. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to brown the topping (optional).
