  1. Sarah, You could. I’d just place in oven at 350° after adding the water and marmalade step. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes then uncover and cook until sauce is thickened.

  2. Joanne, you could certainly use chicken breasts. I just like using thighs because I feel they have more taste. If you use breasts, I’d pound them into thinner cutlets so they aren’t so thick, chewy and possibly dry.
