Put oven ready fry pan in 350F oven for 17 minutes to finish cooking. To make Sauce while chicken is cooking: Place orange juice in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat adjusting heat so juice will not boil over. Let cook to reduce juice to about half - 10 minutes. Next add rum and cook 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter a little at a time, heavy cream and corn starch. Adjust the corn starch to get a thick sauce. To serve: Cut chicken into rounds, put on plate, pour sauce over chicken, sprinkle with red pepper and parsley.
