Sticky Orange-Cilantro Smothered Chicken

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup orange marmalade
2 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, mix together the chicken broth, marmalade, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper and cilantro. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half. Add the chicken, turning to coat, then place the skillet in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
