ORANGE-BALSAMIC CHICKEN



Orange-Balsamic Chicken image

My mom was cleaning out one of her closets and came across several folders full of recipes that she had clipped from magazines and newpapers over the years. This appears to have come from an advertisement for a Weight Watchers Cookbook called "Quick Cooking for Busy People". I don't know if they used the same point system back then as they do now but this claims to be worth 4 points. Anyway, it's a quick and tasty way to make chicken!

ORANGE BALSAMIC CHICKEN

YUMMY...Went to a friend's house last night for dinner and he served this. I had to get the recipe.

Provided by babygirl65

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 roasting chicken, cut-up
1 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, finely grated
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • Mix OJ, zest, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large ziplock bag. Place chicken in bag and seal. Marinade in refrigerator up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Remove chicken from marinade, don't throw away marinade, you will use it for the glaze.
  • Place chicken on a rack in a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 1 hour.
  • Make glaze but putting marinade and honey in a saucepan. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half and slighly thick.
  • Brush chicken pieces with glaze after 30 minutes of roasting and every 15 minutes after that.

Tips:

  • Use a good-quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar can be harsh and overpowering, while a good-quality vinegar will be smooth and mellow.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very thin and can easily overcook. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through, or about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This orange balsamic chicken recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the orange balsamic sauce is sweet and tangy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
