Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded slightly to flatten
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained and reserving 2 tbsp liquid
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the basil, salt, and cayenne pepper.
  • Melt the margarine in large nonstick skillet.
  • Add chicken and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Turn chicken; add onion and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, reserved orange liquid and cornstarch; blend well.
  • Add to skillet with chicken and cook stirring until thick and bubbly.
  • Gently stir in orange segments; cook until heated through.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges. For this recipe, you'll want to use oranges that are both sweet and tart. Navel oranges are a good option, as they are typically sweet and juicy.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the oranges. This will help to prevent the oranges from tearing and will make it easier to remove the pith.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not brown evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. Orange onion chicken is best served immediately, while the chicken is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Orange onion chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet oranges, tangy onions, and savory chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that is both flavorful and satisfying.
