• Salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1 tablespoon honey

Dressing:
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 2/3 cup sliced celery
• 2/3 cup chopped onion
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed
• 1½ teaspoons ground allspice
• 1½ teaspoons dried thyme leaves

• 1¼ cups (8 ounces) pitted dried plums, quartered
• 4 (6¼-inch) matzo sheets, broken into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 can (14½ ounces) chicken broth
 

Preparation

Heat oven to 375ºF.

For Chicken:
Lightly coat 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, as desired; arrange, skin sides down, in pan.
Bake on lower oven rack 30 minutes.

In small bowl, mix orange juice concentrate and honey; set aside.

For Dressing: Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat.
Add celery, onion and carrot; cook and stir 5 minutes.
Add orange juice concentrate, allspice, thyme, salt and pepper; cook and stir 2 minutes or until some of the liquid is absorbed.

Lightly coat 1½-quart baking dish or 4 individual baking dishes with cooking spray. (If using individual dishes, place in shallow baking pan.)

Spoon dried plum dressing into baking dish; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture.

Continue cooking 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a knife, brushing again with honey mixture, halfway through cooking time.
(If chicken becomes too brown; cover loosely with foil during last half of baking.)

While chicken cooks, bake dressing on upper oven rack, allowing 30 minutes for large dish and 20 minutes for individual dishes.
