SWEET CITRUS CHICKEN



Sweet Citrus Chicken image

Here's a recipe for nice, somewhat sweet tasting chicken breasts. The recipe, as given below, was found at Kraft Foods, but I usually substitute my homemade stuffing made with whole grain winter wheat bread cubes, & when making it for this recipe, I usually add to the stuffing at least a teaspoon of orange zest.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Use fresh citrus: Fresh oranges, lemons, and limes will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh citrus, you can use bottled citrus juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat is the best temperature for cooking chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still tender.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: Sweet citrus chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the chicken.

Conclusion:

Stove top sweet citrus chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful citrus sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits. So next time you have some extra oranges, lemons, or limes, give this recipe a try!
