Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Orange sauce:
2 large (organic oranges (you will need 1 teaspoon zest and 200 ml/ 6.7 fl. oz/ ¾ cup juice))
1 tablespoon icing sugar
3/4 cups chicken stock
1-2 tablespoons cognac (to taste (optional))
2 tablespoons cold butter (30 g/ 1 oz)
fine sea salt and black pepper
Pan-fried chicken:
2-4 chicken breasts (depending on size (See note))
2 tablespoons olive oil
some sweet paprika (or other spices of choice)
fine sea salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Sauce: Start by making the sauce; it needs to cook a little longer than the chicken.
  • Oranges: Zest one orange; you will need about 1 teaspoon zest. Juice both oranges; you will need 200 ml/ ¾ cup orange juice.
  • Caramelize the icing sugar in a small saucepan. Add the orange juice and the chicken stock and stir to dissolve the sugar clumps.
  • Reduce: Add the orange zest, bring everything to a boil, and reduce this liquid to half. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Sieve: Add salt, pepper, and 1 or 2 tablespoons cognac to taste (optional) and sieve the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Add butter: Pour the sauce back into the saucepan. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add the cubes to the sauce, one after another, while stirring all the time. The sauce needs to be served immediately.
  • Chicken: While the sauce is cooking, prepare the chicken breasts. If you have 2 large chicken breasts, slice them diagonally to obtain 2 thinner pieces.
  • Pound: Place the chicken breasts between 2 layers of plastic foil and pound them using a meat pounder. Make sure that the chicken pieces are evenly thick all over. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. You can choose other spices if you wish.
  • Cook: Heat the olive oil in a large, cast iron pan. Cook the chicken, 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Do not overcook!
  • Rest: Place on a warm plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce is ready.
  • Serve immediately with the orange sauce, rice, and veggies of choice.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Choose the Right Orange: Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best flavor. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color. Avoid oranges that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Zest the Oranges Properly: Use a Microplane or fine grater to zest the oranges. Be careful not to grate the white pith, as this can make the sauce bitter.
  • Use Good Quality Chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you are using frozen chicken, make sure it is completely thawed before cooking.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
  • Make the Sauce Ahead of Time: The orange sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Conclusion:

Chicken in orange sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that is sure to impress, give chicken in orange sauce a try.
