CITRUS CHICKEN



Citrus Chicken image

This take on the humble chicken breast yields a dish that is at once crisp and moist, tangy and sweet. You can use bone-in chicken breasts, but you'll need to adjust your cooking time by a few minutes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 boneless chicken breasts
Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 large orange
2 limes
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet and swirl it around.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides in the pan, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
  • Add the breasts to the skillet and cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Chicken should be constantly sizzling but not burning.) Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
  • Cut the orange in half. Section one of the halves as you would a grapefruit, removing any seeds. Juice the remaining orange half and one lime.
  • With the heat still on medium-high, add the orange juice, lime juice and sugar to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the orange sections to the skillet and turn heat to low, stirring, until mixture is slightly thickened.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, turn it in the sauce, then serve, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the remaining lime into wedges for garnish.
