Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 cup orange marmalade

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.

    Mix Sauces: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange marmalade and barbecue sauce, stirring until well blended. This will be your delicious glaze.

      Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chicken pieces. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to brown slightly.

        Add the Glaze: Pour the orange marmalade and barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly in the sauce.

          Simmer: Reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the chicken simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your preference.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and serve the orange chicken warm over rice or alongside steamed vegetables.
