Cluck a l’Orange
Everyone in the family will love this dish’s tender chicken with a fresh orange taste and a hint of honey. You can also try this recipe with fish, such as tilapia or snapper, instead!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6-8 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 1 1/3 cups chicken broth
- 3 oranges, 1 juiced and 2 sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and dust with the flour. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons EVOO over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until cooked through, 8-10 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon EVOO and the shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil; lower the heat and simmer until reduced by two-thirds. Add the orange juice and honey and season with salt. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan to reheat, turning. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and thinly slice each breast on the diagonal, reserving the skillet.
Arrange the chicken on a plate and fan the orange rounds on top. Stir the butter into the skillet sauce and spoon over the chicken.
