Submitted by PatisserieFan

"This a delicious and UNFRIED "healthified" verison of traditional Chicken L'Orange Recipe. I came up with this in my hopes to loose weight this year but not give up any of my favorite foods. It is absolutely DELICIOUS! Serve this with a side whole grain rice with a tbsp. of LITE butter, and a teaspoon of cilantro, It's a simple and easy side dish, Also, steamed carrots would be good as well! (NOTE: You must marinate this overnight, so please factor that into making this)"
