Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate (optional, for a more intense orange flavor)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons grainy style Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 bunch watercress
6 thin slices orange

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade, and pour over the chicken. Cover the pan, and marinate overnight or longer in the refrigerator, turning the chicken a few times.
  • When ready to cook, adjust oven racks to the middle and broil positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the marinade for 12 to 16 minutes or until almost done. Be careful not to overcook. Increase the heat to broil, move the pan of chicken under the broiler and cook a few more minutes, with the door partly open, until the breasts are golden.
  • While the chicken is cooking, line a serving plate with a bed of watercress. Remove chicken from the oven, place on top of the watercress, spoon the pan juices over and garnish with orange slices.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was too sweet. I will not be making this again.

The chicken was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken for less time next time.
