Braised Orange Rosemary Chicken image

This is a lighter, very aromatic chicken dish, and goes well with white, or jasmine, rice. Note: This dish is not salty; it is meant to be flavorful in other ways, but be ready to add dashes of salt to your dish if you want it saltier! Another Note!: Don't omit letting the chicken stand before serving. It is essential for this...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

10-12 chicken thighs
2 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp pepper
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
2-3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 c vegetable stock
2 oranges
5-6 sprig(s) fresh rosemary sprigs

Steps:

  • 1. Wash chicken and pat dry. Rub in the salt, pepper and lemon juice. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375*.
  • 2. Heat olive oil in pan. Add chicken, skin side down and do your first "flip over" when you see the skin becoming brown. Brown chicken in pan on both sides until crispy. Remove chicken from pan and place it in a baking pan.
  • 3. Slice your oranges in half. Set aside.
  • 4. Into hot pan, add the balsamic, and stir over low heat to deglaze pan, and release all of those little brown bits from pan. Pour this onto chicken.
  • 5. Into baking dish add vegetable stock, juice of the oranges and the rosemary sprigs. Kind of stuff the rosemary springs in between the chicken thighs.
  • 6. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Take pan out and cover with paper towel. Let chicken stand and rest for about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken out of drippings after 20 minutes. Either discard drippings, or use them to make a roux / gravy.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover roasted chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is really flavorful and the chicken is moist and tender.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I will try cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I will use less orange juice and more rosemary.
