- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken on both sides in the hot butter until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes; place the chicken into a shallow baking dish. Stir the flour, cinnamon, and orange juice into the skillet. Bring to boil, and cook until thickened. Season with salt to taste, then pour over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Cover the chicken breasts with orange slices.
- Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
- Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter flavor, or blood oranges for a more tart flavor.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will give your chicken a more intense orange flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Use a meat thermometer: To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately: Cinnamon Orange Chicken is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon Orange Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the orange sauce is sweet, tangy, and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
