Main Dish

Steps

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2: Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and drizzle it with the teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 3: Place the orange wedges around the chicken. Sprinkle the ginger and pepper over the chicken and oranges.
Step 4: Bake the chicken for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 5: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool before serving.

Tips for Orange Chicken

The orange will soften and release juice, while the chicken should look opaque throughout and feel firm when done.
Use a baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken and wedges; an overly large dish can let the juices spread thinly.
For more even cooking, let a thick chicken breast sit out briefly while you prepare the dish, rather than baking it straight from very cold.
