Roasted Orange Chicken With Peppers

I love all parts of a chicken. Each part has its own great flavor. Do you like chicken legs?  I think they are very tasty and like finding new ways to cook them.  You could use other chicken parts for this recipe: thighs, wings, and breasts.  I know they would taste great with the wonderful sauce of tomato, oranges, onions, and peppers.

You know I also love one pan meals, and this recipe comes pretty close. Cook rice, pasta, or even mashed potatoes to serve with the chicken, veggies, and sauce.

  1. Carol we make chicken all the time in my house but lately we have gotten tired of the same thing. This is such a cool recipe with ingredients I normally would not use for chicken. It’s time o shake things up and give it a try.

    1. Sure the chicken would be great w/o squash or you could use another vegetable of your choice. Thanks for the visit!

  2. Hi this is Kristina visiting from Create, Bake, Grow and Gather. Mmmm this looks so good! I love chicken legs too, but I think my favorite would the be chicken thighs and I bet they would be another great option for this recipe.
