orange rosemary chicken

i cooked!!  two days in a row!  in my house, and my life right now, this is a sizeable miracle.  (and if i get through this post in less than two days, it'll be another miracle.)  we have been eating all sorts of garbage since our little one came home and it's doing nothing good for any of us, so it's time to start some home cooking again.  the goal:  quick (like lightening quick!) to prepare and at least moderately healthy.  the solution?  rosemary orange chicken.  took all of 5 minutes to put together and had enough leftovers to create a soup.  done and done!

Orange Rosemary Chicken - from healthy quick meals
prep time: 5mins  cook time: 1hr
serves 3

1lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp pepper
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate (about 1/2 the can)
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp marjoram

preheat oven to 350.
arrange chicken in a casserole dish.  sprinkle with paprika and pepper.
mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
bake, covered, for 1 hour, or until chicken is cooked through.


yum!  i love a dinner that takes 5 minutes to prepare.  we had this with a frozen instant-type rice dish (not ideal, but not bad) and it probably would have been good to add some veggies... but maybe next time.  this makes lots of juice/sauce, which is good for pouring over rice (or saving to add to soup the next day, like i did).

do you have any other lightening quick meal ideas for me?  i need a lot more!
