ORANGE ROSEMARY CHICKEN BREASTS
LOVE the taste of chicken and different fruits! This one was born on a night when the cupboard was sort of "bare-ish", and I used what I had on-hand. Turned out very tasty!

Steps:
- 1. On a heavy-duty cutting board, use a meat mallet/tenderizer hammer to hammer the chx. breasts into thin breasts, about 3/8" each. This will tenderize them, and they will absorb the flavor of the orange and rosemary better, once you break down the tissues. Trim off all fat and sinew. Set aside while you prepare the orange and warm your pan. NOTE: You DON'T want to hammer these on your glass platter. LOL! My photo shows them on a platter AFTER I have tenderized them on a cutting board. Put the chx. breasts into a polyethylene bag (the kind cereal box liners are made of), so the chx. doesn't "spatter" all over your counter, etc. I save these cereal box liners just for this purpose. Waxed paper, saran wrap, WalMart bags, etc., are all too flimsy and break easily when you're hammering on the chicken, and you'll end up w/ a spattered mess on your backsplash, countertops, etc. :o/
- 2. Remove zest, and extract juice from the orange. You'll want at least a few tablespoons of the orange juice, perhaps even a 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup, and all of the zest. Set both aside. If you need to use two oranges, go for it! This is one of those "eyeball it" things, or "to your desired taste" issues. I like it "orange-y", so I use a lot of the orange juice.
- 3. Put chx. breasts into a large bowl, and sprinkle with orange juice from your fresh orange(s). Toss to coat. Let it marinate for several minutes in juice.
- 4. Lay chx. breasts out on a large flat plate or surface. Salt and pepper, to taste. Let them sit while you prepare the pan.
- 5. Heat a large skillet to MedHigh; add 1 tsp. olive oil, and 1 tsp butter, and allow to melt together. (The olive oil helps raise the burning temp. of the butter - slightly! Be watchful that the butter doesn't turn "brown"). Preheat your oven to 400°.
- 6. Brown chx. breasts, only two at a time in the pan, about 3 minutes per side. When both sides are golden, transfer to a square baking dish and keep warm. They don't need to be fully cooked in the browning pan; they will finish cooking in the oven. Repeat process with the remaining 2 chx. breasts & remainder of olive oil and butter. Remove to the baking dish and keep warm, when done.
- 7. Lower the heat to Med or MedLow. Into the pan, add your fresh squeezed/pressed garlic, and saute' for about a minute, or until glossy. DO NOT OVER COOK...garlic burns very easily!
- 8. Deglaze the pan with the remainder of the fresh orange juice, chicken stock, and balsamic vinegar, gently loosening any stuff that stuck to the bottom of the pan. Pour dezlazing juices over all of the chicken breasts.
- 9. Sprinkle the orange zest (about a TBSP., more or less to your taste) over all of the chicken breasts, spreading evenly.
- 10. Tuck pieces of the fresh rosemary sprigs here and there, between the chicken breasts, and sprinkle a few sprigs on top, if desired.
- 11. Bake at 400° for about 15 - 20 minutes, until juices run clear when pricked w/ a fork. Arrange on a platter. Pour juices from pan over all the chicken on the platter, to keep chicken moist. Garnish with fresh orange slices and rosemary, if desired. Serve immediately.

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN
One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

CHICKEN A L'ORANGE
This is a recipe from the famous Cliff House at Pikes Peak, in Manitou Springs, Colorado. This was originally made with duck, but I have change it to chicken. Adapted from Recipes from Historic America by Linda and Steve Bauer. A great book! And now a little history: Travelers once just passed through Manitou Springs, never staying for long. It was a stagecoach stop on the route from Colorado Springs to Leadville, one of the most famous stagecoach runs in the American West. Manitou Springs grew up around the gold mines in the Pikes Peak area in the late 1850s, and when those mines proved bountiful, that all changed. The building that had been the stagecoach stop was converted into a 20-room boardinghouse known simply as "The Inn". The earliest guests were mostly trappers and hunters on their way to or from Colorado Springs. But soon gold seekers made their way through Manitou Springs, bringing more business to the small inn. On occasion, tents had to be pitched next to the building to accommodate the overflow of guests. By 1876, when the gold strikes were fewer and far between, the inn was struggling. That's when a mineral of another sort - mineral springs - came to play a role in the inn's fortunes. Manitou Springs was home to ancient mineral springs, which bubbled up from underground limestone aquifers and carbonated the water - it was cool, good-tasting and had a high concentration of beneficial minerals. American Indians had been drinking it straight from the springs, believing them to have healing powers. It was also in the 1870s that a man named Edward E. Nichols came west to fight a battle with tuberculosis. Nichols moved permanently to Manitou Springs, where he served as mayor for eight terms. He bought the inn in 1886, renamed it the Cliff House and turned it into a sophisticated hotel that capitalized on the region's springs and sparkling waters. In 1914, Nichols and Colorado Governor Oliver Shoup founded the Manitou Bath House Company. The entire community became a resort specializing in water therapies, and people were eager to visit and take advantage of the healing powers of the springs. In the 30 years that followed, Nichols expanded the hotel from 20 rooms to 56, and eventually to 200. The result was the beautiful, four-and-a-half-story building that still stands today. The Cliff House had evolved into a desirable destination in its own right, attracting a well-heeled clientele, including Theodore Roosevelt; Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria; William Henry Jackson; Charles Dickens Jr.; P.T. Barnum; Thomas Edison; Clark Gable; F.W. Woolworth; and J. Paul Getty. Each morning, guests were given programs detailing the evening's entertainment. They enjoyed a formal dinner, then delighted in a concert on the hotel grounds. Afterward, they were encouraged to walk across the street to Soda Springs for a glass of fresh springwater before retiring. The Cliff House even had underground tunnels leading from the hotel to the spa. In later years, a bathhouse was built at the spa, and bellboys from the hotel would cross to the spring to fill bottles and glasses with sparkling water for the guests. The Cliff House at Pikes Peak soon became the most popular hotel and spa in the Colorado Springs region, drawing people from all walks of life and from around the world. For all its successes, the Cliff House also endured some hard times. In 1921, a flash flood roared down Williams Canyon and washed through the hotel's Grill Room, a small sandwich and soda shop in the rear of the east wing, buckling the floor all the way to the ceiling. California real estate developer James S. Morley bought the Cliff House in 1981, converting the historic building into a 42-unit apartment building. But in its second disaster of the century, the building caught fire in March 1982. The fourth-floor roof sustained so much damage it had to be replaced, and the interior was stripped of all plumbing, plaster and floor coverings. The water damage was so extensive that the entire building was threatened. Immediate action was taken to preserve what remained. Due to the local economy, the building stood vacant for 16 years. Since the Cliff House had been placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fire also raised concerns among citizens groups and government agencies that supported its renovation. In 1997, Morley committed to the restoration, vowing to return the hotel to its original distinction, preserving the Rocky Mountain Victorian architecture of the 1800s, but incorporating 21st century state-of-the-art technology and amenities. After $9 million worth of refurbishing and loving care, this vision has been realized.

ROASTED ORANGE CHICKEN
Whole tangerines, peel and all, roast alongside chicken in a sweetened soy sauce that thickens into a glaze and lacquers the bird. The fruit wedges soften in the syrupy sauce while infusing it with their floral bittersweetness. Reminiscent of savory Cantonese soy sauce chicken and tangy American Chinese orange chicken, this dish also combines the warmth of ginger with the bit of heat from ground hot chiles. You can eat the tangerine wedges along with the chicken, which is delicious with its sauce over steamed rice or boiled noodles. Serve with stir-fried brussels sprouts or bok choy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Squeeze 1/4 cup juice from 2 to 3 tangerines into a small bowl; reserve the spent peels. Cut the remaining tangerines into wedges with their peels intact, and set aside. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne to the tangerine juice and whisk until the sugar dissolves.
- Generously season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper. Tuck the wingtips behind the body. Stuff the tangerine peels and 6 ginger slices into the cavity, then tie the legs together using kitchen twine. Place in a large ovenproof skillet, and scatter the tangerine wedges and remaining 2 slices ginger around the chicken.
- Slowly pour the juice mixture all over the chicken, then slide the skillet into the oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Using a large spoon or baster, quickly and carefully coat the chicken with the pan sauce. Continue roasting, basting every 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast should register 155 degrees and, in the leg, 170 degrees. The chicken will continue to cook while it rests.
- Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes. If the pan sauce isn't already syrupy, bring it to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Be sure to wear oven mitts or use a kitchen towel to hold the skillet (the handle is hot). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles grow larger and paler brown, and the sauce is the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Discard the ginger.
- Serve the chicken whole or carved with the glaze poured all over the meat. Arrange the tangerine wedges from the pan around the bird. You can eat them, if you'd like.
