This is a JENNY CRAIG recipe.

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

• ½ cup pineapple-orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon orange-honey mustard
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon minced garlic
• 8 small chicken thighs, skinned
• Vegetable cooking spray
• 2 cups cooked long-grain rice (cooked without salt or fat)
• 1 teaspoon orange rind

Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small saucepan.  Cook over low heat until marmalade melts; remove from heat and set aside. 

Place chicken in a 13x9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.  Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.  Pour marmalade mixture over chicken; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is done.

Combine rice and orange rind.  Spoon ½ cup rice mixture onto each serving plate.  Place 2 chicken thighs over rice on each plate; spoon marmalade mixture in baking dish evenly over chicken.
