Janet Smith's Oriental Chicken
- 1 (8 ounce) jar apple jelly
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle hot ketchup (don't have hot ketchup? Add a couple of drops of hot sauce)

- The night before, take the frozen chicken and marinate it in the soy sauce in the refrigerator overnight.
- In a 9x13 casserole dish, spray with PAM.
- Add 2 cups of rice, the bullion and 4 cups of water and mix.
- Mix up entire jars of apple jelly, the whole bottle of ketchup, the frozen bell peppers and the pineapple bits into a bowl and pour over the rice.
- Add about 2-3 pounds of chicken thighs to the top and pour the apple jelly mix over the top.
- Bake it in a 350 oven for about an hour.
- The water chestnuts are optional, if you add them, add them into the apple jelly mixture.
- Same with the sesame seeds, they're optional.
- Just sprinkle them over the chicken before baking if you like.
