How to Make Plum Wonderful Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and frozen lemonade concentrate until the sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  4. Peel and slice the plums. If using fresh plums, remove the pits.
  5. In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken breasts. Top with the sliced plums and red onion.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the plums are tender. Basting halfway through is recommended.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
