Heat oven to 375ºF.
For Chicken:
Lightly coat 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, as desired; arrange, skin sides down, in pan.
Bake on lower oven rack 30 minutes.
In small bowl, mix orange juice concentrate and honey; set aside.
For Dressing: Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat.
Add celery, onion and carrot; cook and stir 5 minutes.
Add orange juice concentrate, allspice, thyme, salt and pepper; cook and stir 2 minutes or until some of the liquid is absorbed.
Lightly coat 1 1/2-quart baking dish or 4 individual baking dishes with cooking spray. (If using individual dishes, place in shallow baking pan.)
Spoon dried plum dressing into baking dish; cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture.
Continue cooking 30 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear when pierced with a knife, brushing again with honey mixture, halfway through cooking time.
(If chicken becomes too brown; cover loosely with foil during last half of baking.)
While chicken cooks, bake dressing on upper oven rack, allowing 30 minutes for large dish and 20 minutes for individual dishes.
