Orange-Soy Sauce
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Preparation

To make the sauce: in a saucepan over medium heat, stir the sauce ingredients together until the sugar dissolves and the flavors are blended, about 1 minute.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the chicken in a lightly sprayed or oiled 11 x 7 inch glass baking dish.
Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Cover and bake for 15 minutes.
Uncover, baste with the sauce, and continue to bake, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes longer.
Pour the sauce into a small pan over medium heat.
Blend the cornstarch and water and stir into the sauce.
Stir until thickened, about 1 minute.
Transfer the chicken to a plate and pour the sauce over it.
Garnish with orange slices and parsley.
