Orange-Tarragon- Glazed Baked Chicken

from the "Super Suppers" cookbook
*a cookbook with recipes to enjoy tonight or freeze for later. This book has a lot of great recipes.

This chicken is great on its own. I think it would be great cold on a salad, or served with fruit and nut couscous as recommended by the cookbook.

makes 6 servings

6 medium boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (2 1/4 lbs. on all)
1 cup orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon dried tarragon, crushed
1 teaspoon salt

STEP ONE: Place chicken in resealable bag. For marinade, combine orange juice concentrate, onion, oil, tarragon, and salt. pour over chicken in bag. Seal bag, turn to coat, Refrigerate for 2 hours.

STEP TWO: Preheat Oven to 350. Drain chicken, discard marinade. Arrange chicken on 13x9x2 baking dish. Bake, uncovered, about 20 mins. or until no longer pink. (also excellent on the grill)

Freeze ahead- Prepare through step one. Freeze up to two months. Defrost completely in refrigerator. Continue according to step two.
