Provided by NURSE24HR

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes     Breaded

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup olive oil
1 orange, sliced into rounds
1 cup dry white wine
½ cup orange juice
1 (10.5 ounce) can chicken broth
¼ cup brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier®)

Steps:

  • Slice chicken breasts in thirds horizontally to make 12 thin chicken fillets. Lightly pound each piece. Place in a dish, and pour milk over them. Soak for 10 minutes. In a shallow bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and parsley. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken pieces in the bread crumb mixture, and place in the hot oil. Quickly brown on both sides, then remove to a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish, or similar size. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place orange slices over the top of the chicken.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drain the oil from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup. Heat the reserved oil with the wine over medium heat until reduced by 1/2. Add broth and orange juice, and reduce by 1/2 again. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then drizzle with Grand Marinier.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until bubbly.

CHICKEN BREAST GRAND MARNIER



Chicken Breast Grand Marnier image

I was bored at home one day so I decided to experiment with some chicken breast. This is when I remembered a dream I had about pairing chicken and Grand Marnier (seriously I do actually dream about food). So I decided to pan fry the chicken and make a reduction for the sauce. The result was extraordinary and now I make it once every month or so. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

GRILLED GRAND MARNIER CHICKEN



Grilled Grand Marnier Chicken image

These are wonderful in the summer. When we think of grilled boneless chicken, we always assume skinless too. These have their skin on. If you can't find them already prepared like that, it is very easy to debone a breast. Don't skip the skin! It soaks up the marinade, keeps the chicken really moist and keeps all of the great...

Categories     Chicken

Time 4h25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c grand marnier
1 1/4 c apricot jam
3/4 c distilled white vinegar

3 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp dried hot red pepper flakes
3 boneless but skin intact chicken breasts (about 12 oz each) halved
olive oil for brushing the chicken

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan combine all the ingredients except the chicken and the oil. Simmer the mixture until the jam and the honey are melted and let the mixture cool to room temp.
  • 2. In a shallow dish, marinate the chicken in the mixture covered and chilled, turning it several times for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • 3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade and grill the chicken skin side down on a rack over very hot coals for 3 1/2 mins. Brush the skinless side with the oil, turn it and grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes more or until it is just firm to the touch.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c grand marnier
1.25 c apricot jam
3/4 c white vinegar
4.5 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
3 Tbsp dijon mustard
3 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
6 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, combine the liqueur, jam, vinegar, worcestershire sauce, mustard, honey and red pepper flakes.
  • 2. Simmer over medium-low heat (or put in microwave for 1 minute until the honey and jam are melted).
  • 3. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature
  • 4. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a shallow glass baking dish.
  • 5. Pour on the marinade and refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • 6. If grilling, let the chicken stand at room temperature for half an hour before grilling.
  • 7. TO BAKE: Pour off all but 3/4 cup marinade. Brush additional apricot jam onto to chicken.
  • 8. Cover loosely with foil.
  • 9. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting with marinade every 15 minutes.
  • 10. FOR GRILLING: Prepare a charcoal fire.
  • 11. When the coals are glowing hot with a layer of white ash, grill the chicken breasts 6 to 8 inches from the heat.
  • 12. Baste the chicken with oil and marinade during grilling.
  • 13. Cook for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.
  • 14. Slice and serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. They will cook quickly and evenly in the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When browning the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Use a good quality Grand Marnier. The quality of the Grand Marnier will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Look for a Grand Marnier that is made with real cognac and orange liqueur.
  • Don't boil the sauce. When simmering the sauce, be careful not to let it boil. Boiling will cause the alcohol in the Grand Marnier to evaporate and the sauce will lose its flavor.
  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken will be most tender and the sauce will be at its peak flavor.

Conclusion:

Grand Marnier chicken is a classic French dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a special dinner party or a casual weeknight meal, this dish is sure to impress.
