This is a crockpot recipe, but I don't see why it wouldn't work in the oven - I have no idea how long it would take tho, you'll have to figure that part out yourself if you don't want to make it in the crockpot.
Prepare a 4-quart crockpot by spraying the inside of the crock with non-stick cooking spray (or use a liner). If you use a bigger crockpot you'll need to increase the amounts to fill it up better.
Ingredients:
- 6-oz can frozen lemonade concentrate, undiluted
- 1/2 t. ground ginger
- 1/4 t. ground pepper
- 1 t. dried parsley
- 6 6-oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 T. cornstarch
Open the can of frozen lemonade concentrate and put the contents in a shallow bowl that's large enough to hold one of the chicken breast halves. When the lemonade concentrate has thawed, stir in the ginger, pepper, and parsley.
Dip each piece of chicken breast in the shallow bowl, coating both sides with the mixture. Place the coated chicken in the bottom of the crock. Give the dipping mixture another stir and then pour it over the chicken breast halves in the crock. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
After the chicken is cooked, lift it out of the glaze with a slotted spoon and remove it from the crock. Place it in a baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Turn your oven on the lowest possible temperature and keep the chicken warm while you thicken the glaze in the crockpot.
Turn the crockpot with the glaze inside to HIGH and cover. Mix the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Add the water/cornstarch mixture to the crock, stir to mix well. Replace the cover, but leave it slightly ajar (note: leaving the cover ajar allows the steam to escape and cause the glaze to thicken faster). Cook the glaze on HIGH for 15-30 minutes or until bubbly and thickened like gravy.
Serve the chicken over cooked rice or any kind of cooked pasta you wish to use.
Jill's note: so she doesn't say what you're supposed to do with the glaze, I'm assuming you put the chicken back in it before serving over the rice or pasta, or maybe put the chicken on the rice and then pour the glaze over. Her recipes literally cover 8 book pages because she uses so many words haha, but then leaves out how to finish this one. Whatever, it's still a great dish!
PS: am I the only person who hears "lemonade concentrate" and thinks of the blond joke (you know, why did the blond stare at the frozen lemonade can? because it says 'concentrate')?
same recipe using a frozen 3 pound pork roast:

I followed the recipe exactly but chicken was very dry.
