2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup canola oil
Roasted Asparagus with Orange Glaze, optional, recipe follows
4 boneless skin-on chicken breasts
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large navel orange, zested and juiced (1/2 cup)

Freshly grated orange zest, for garnish

Steps:

Place on the rack set over the baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with 2/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze in 5 minutes intervals. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Reserve the remaining glaze for Roasted Asparagus with Orange Glaze.
  • For the asparagus: Whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, oregano, sherry vinegar, 2 large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil to create an emulsion. Yield: about 1 cup
  • For the asparagus: Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze and sprinkle with some orange zest.

BAKED ORANGE-GLAZED CHICKEN



Baked Orange-Glazed Chicken image

One of my favorite recipes! The combination of paprika and mustard powder really offsets the sweetness of the orange juice. I tend to eyeball when cooking, so if you cook more breasts or use a large pan, make extra sauce to baste with. I'll frequently use extra glaze when baking just so there's plenty to pour over rice once it's done!

1 cup chicken broth

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Use fresh oranges: The fresher the oranges, the better the flavor of the chicken will be.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will release the flavorful oils from the orange peel.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Baste the chicken breasts frequently: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Orange baked chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the orange sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
