Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Squeeze the oranges until you have 3 cups of juice.
  3. In a large skillet, combine the juice, molasses and vinegar and bring to a boil over high heat, skimming foam periodically.
  4. Boil until you have only about a half cup of thick glaze.
  5. This takes 10-15 minutes.
  6. Set half the glaze aside in a separate container for serving with the chicken.
  7. Place the chicken breast halves on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Brush with glaze.
  9. Bake chicken, brushing with glaze two more times, until juices run clear when pierced, 35-40 minutes.
  10. Serve chicken hot with reserved glaze.
