VERY EASY CHICKEN WITH ORANGE SAUCE



Very Easy Chicken With Orange Sauce image

This is so simple and quick, and tasty--it gives you the sweet orange chicken fix you want, without all the time involved in the usual Chicken L'orange recipes.

Provided by SaucyCook

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2-3 lbs ready to cook broiler-fryer chickens, cut up (or chicken breasts, if preferred)
2 tablespoons shortening
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 medium onion, sliced
6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate (thawed)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • In skillet with shortening, brown chicken on all sides.
  • Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Add paprika.
  • Arrange onion over top of chicken.
  • Combine juice, brown sugar, parsley, soy, ginger and 1/4 cup of water; pour over chicken and onion.
  • Cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 35-50 minutes.
  • Serve over hot rice.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh oranges for the sauce. This will give it a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use bottled orange juice. However, the flavor will be less intense.
  • Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a lot of flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best when they are cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This easy chicken with orange sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The orange sauce is tangy and sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the tender chicken. If you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, this is the recipe for you.
