Mix all of the ingredients except salt and pepper and let them marinate for about 15 minutes while the oven is preheating. Turn the chicken often to make sure all sides get marinated.
Put the chicken in the casserole dish.
Season it with the salt and pepper.
Bring the marinade to a boil and reduce it by about ¼ – maybe five minutes.
Add the marinade to the chicken and bake for 30 minutes, or until the chicken registers 160F in the middle of the breast.
Brush with the marinade often during baking.
If, when the chicken is done, the marinade isn’t as thick as you’d like it to be you can reduce it on the stove until it is as thick as you like. Just be careful that it doesn’t scorch.
You can also dump this whole thing into a slow cooker for 6- 8 hours. It won’t be as pretty but it will be every bit as delicious! Some slow cookers heat differently than others to monitor yours the first time you make it.
Notes
Serve with rice, roast vegetables, and lemon pie or citrus dessert
