 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2   lb           Chicken -- up to 3 lb,
                       -skinned and boned
    1/2   ts           Red pepper
    1/2   ts           Paprika
  1       c            Onions -- finely chopped
    1/2   c            Celery -- finely chopped
  2       tb           Tomato paste
  1       tb           Low sodium Worcesterschire
    1/4   ts           Ground ginger
    1/2   ts           Salt
    1/2   ts           Chili powder
  1       tb           Reduced calorie margarine
    1/2   c            Bell pepper -- finely chopped
  6       oz           Can orange juice
  2       T            Honey
  1       t            Orange peel -- grated
    1/4   t            Hot sauce

 Preheat the oven to 350 F. Arrange the chicken halves in an 8"
 baking dish sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Combine the salt,
 red pepper, chili powder, and paprika; mix well and sprinkle over
 the chicken; set aside.

 In a medium skillet over high heat, melt the margarine. Add the
 onions, bell pepper, and celery; saute, stirring constantly for
 5 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients. Cook, constantly
 stirring, for 5 more minutes, or until the sauce thickens, then
 remove from the heat and pour over the chicken. Cover with aluminum
 foil and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over and baste with
 the sauce. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer, or until the
 chicken is tender, basting often.

 Note: Rather than use margarine to saute the vegetables, I have
 used Pam, spraying both the vegetables and the pan. Works just as
 well. Also, for a little spicier dish, try using Chinese red pepper
 instead of the ground red and use 1 tb of hot sauce. I also usually
 leave out the ginger.
