Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup orange marmalade

1/2 cup BBQ sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking and better flavor absorption.

    Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange marmalade and BBQ sauce. Stir well until the two ingredients are fully blended.

      Cooking the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

        Add the Sauce: Pour the orange marmalade BBQ sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.

          Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh orange zest or sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over rice or as a delicious filling for wraps.
