This takes a VERY LITTLE amount of prep work. If you throw the chicken into the oven when you get up, it’ll be done by the end of your shower!

Ingredients: (serves 2-4)
4 half chicken-breasts
2 cups Orange Juice
2-4 oranges (if on hand)
2 Tbs flour
2 Tbs butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Put the chicken breasts in a lightly oiled oven-proof pan – either glass or metal will be fine.
3. Cover chicken with 1 cup of OJ
4. Bake chicken for 30-45 minutes, until white all the way through
5. Remove chicken to stand mixer with paddle attachment. Run on low speed for about 1 minute (or to desired shred level) to shred chicken.
6. Melt butter in a small sauce pan
7. Whisk in flour until you have a hot, bubbly roux
8. Stir in OJ and any leftover juice from the chicken pan
9. Heat until thick on spoon, about 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
10. Optional: slice oranges, remove peel and any pith that comes with the peel
11. Make waffles according to package directions; top with orange slice, chicken, and sauce.

5. Heat on low heat for 8 hours or overnight
