Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate (optional, for a more intense orange flavor)
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons grainy style Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 bunch watercress
6 thin slices orange

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Combine the ingredients for the marinade, and pour over the chicken. Cover the pan, and marinate overnight or longer in the refrigerator, turning the chicken a few times.
  • When ready to cook, adjust oven racks to the middle and broil positions. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Bake the chicken, uncovered, in the marinade for 12 to 16 minutes or until almost done. Be careful not to overcook. Increase the heat to broil, move the pan of chicken under the broiler and cook a few more minutes, with the door partly open, until the breasts are golden.
  • While the chicken is cooking, line a serving plate with a bed of watercress. Remove chicken from the oven, place on top of the watercress, spoon the pan juices over and garnish with orange slices.

I'm not a fan of orange chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the orange glaze is perfectly balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.

The glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the chicken was cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken turned out tough and chewy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the orange glaze was delicious. I'll try again with a different cooking method.

This glazed orange chicken is a game-changer! The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, coated in a sticky, tangy, and sweet orange glaze. My family devoured it in minutes.
