Provided by Queen Dana

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups orange juice (fresh navel or Valencia)
2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
kosher salt
6 boneless skin-on chicken breast halves, about 6-7 ounces each
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tablespoons brandy
1 cup orange juice (fresh navel or Valencia)
1/2 cup lower-salt chicken broth
1 orange, cut into segments, segments cut into thirds (navel or Valencia)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Brine the chicken:.
  • Combine the orange juice, zest, 6 Tbs. salt, and 4 cups water in a large bowl or pot; stir to dissolve the salt. Add the chicken breasts and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Cook the chicken:.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Remove the chicken from the brine and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the chicken skin side down in a snug single layer and cook until the skin is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the chicken, season with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, and put the pan in the oven. Roast the chicken until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F in the center of the thickest breast, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a carving board, tent with foil, and let rest while you make the sauce.
  • Make the sauce:.
  • Pour the juices from the skillet into a heatproof measuring cup. Let the fat rise to the surface and then spoon it off.
  • Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Off the heat, add the brandy. Return the pan to the heat and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the brandy has almost evaporated, about 30 seconds. Increase the heat to high and add the orange juice. Boil until thick and syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, pan juices, and any juices from the carving board. Boil until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 3 minutes.
  • Swirl in the orange segments. Then, off the heat, swirl in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and the parsley until the butter is melted. Season to taste with salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • To serve, cut the chicken on the diagonal into thin slices and arrange on 6 serving plates. Drizzle with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality brandy for best flavor. A VSOP or XO brandy is recommended.
  • If you don't have brandy, you can substitute another type of orange liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
  • Be sure to use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. Bottled or frozen orange juice will not give you the same results.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute white sugar. However, brown sugar will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The safe internal temperature for chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Orange brandy chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
