Friday 3/26 "Orange chicken"

This recipe is from Parenting magazine.

• 1 lb. chicken thighs ($3.61)
• 1/2 jar orange marmalade ($1.68)
• 2 tblsp. red wine vinegar (already purchased)
• 2 cloves garlic ($0.33)
• 4 servings instant rice ($1.99)

Mix marmalade, garlic, vinegar, and salt and pepper together. Place thighs in oven dish and pour sauce over the top. Cook at 375* for 20 minute or so (until done). Meanwhile, prepare rice according to box directions (may call for butter). Serve chicken and sauce over rice when done.

The verdict:

This was so easy to make, and my husband and I LOVED it! Make sure to taste the mix to make sure it is not too sweet for your taste. Adjust seasonings as needed. I haven't really cooked with chicken thighs that much, but they are much cheaper and they taste just as good. I wish I had added some steamed veggies to bump up nutrition factor. All in all I will definitely repeat this recipe. Total cost to make: $7.61. Can't beat that.
