3/4 cup Orange juice

Cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and cook on high for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender. 3 Serve hot with a little bit of the juice. Serve 1 breast or 1 leg and 1 thigh per serving. 4 Note: If you prefer to use a conventional oven, cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake at 325F for 45min-1hour or until the chicken is tender.
