Original Recipe Yield 8 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons adobo seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cups water, divided
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cups orange marmalade

Directions

  1. Season chicken breasts and thighs with adobo seasoning and pepper.
  2. Place the seasoned chicken and 1 cup water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Turning frequently, cook until water has been reduced. Mix in remaining water, onion, green bell pepper, and celery.

  3. Stir orange marmalade into the saucepan, coating each piece of chicken. Cover, and continue cooking about 10 minutes.
