Chicken Jane Russell (ca.1972)

A/U Cookbook

6 whole chicken breasts, boned and skinned
6 thin slices cooked ham
2/3 cup fine bread crumbs
2 cups orange juice
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon grated orange rind (use fresh rind if possible)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Place breasts on flat surface and place one slice of ham on each. Roll up and secure with a skewer or cord. Roll in the bread crumbs. Arrange in a shallow casserole and bake at 400 F for 15 minutes, turning once. Combine the rest of the ingredients and pour over the chicken. Reduce heat to 350 F and continue baking for 30 minutes, turning and basting occasionally. Serve with rice. Serves 6.

    This is a fantastic recipe. I think I’m going to do a kicked up spicy version of this on my site. I love this stuff.
