This is an easy chicken dish I’ve seen in a million different cookbooks, most of them from schools or churches. I’ve also seen it with a million different names. In our church cookbook, it’s called Mrs. Katotis’ Skinny Chicken. I’ve no idea who Mrs. Katotis is, but it’s my guess that it’s called “skinny” because it’s low-cal.  Give it a try!

Mrs. Katotis’ Skinny Chicken

4 bone-in chicken breasts

a dash of garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

½ cup of orange juice

2 tbsp of soy sauce

Sprinkle the chicken breasts with garlic, salt and pepper and place in a non-stick frying pan that has been lightly oiled with olive oil or cooking spray. Mix the orange juice and soy sauce, and pour the mixture over the chicken breasts. Turn on medium heat. Cover and simmer over medium for about 45 minutes. Then take the lid off and cook down the liquid. You will need to stir and possibly flip the chicken during this last step, so watch it carefully.

You can also use boneless, skinless breasts and shorten the cooking time. I’ve never made this in the crock pot, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I also think this would make a very nice marinade for the grill.
