Description

This citrus chicken with roasted red onions is a delightful and easy-to-prepare main course. The combination of orange, lemon, and marmalade creates a sweet and tangy glaze that perfectly complements the chicken. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The red onions become wonderfully caramelized in the oven, adding a touch of sweetness. Serve with couscous for a complete and satisfying meal. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual weekend gathering.
