Savory Molasses Chicken Breasts

• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons minced ginger
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage leaves
• salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

In a gallon zip-lock bag, combine all ingredients except chicken.

Add the chicken, close the bag, and massage to coat the chicken. Let rest, covered, at room temperature for 30 minutes; or refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the chicken breasts to a shallow baking pan to fit and pour the marinade over the breasts. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through, basting often with the pan juices.

Remove the chicken to a plate. Pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce until thickened, about 15 minutes. Serve with the chicken.
