Sour-Orange Grilled Chicken Paillards image

Paillards are chicken breasts that have been flattened to an even thinness with a meat mallet or rolling pin. They cook exceptionally quickly on the grill, which prevents them from drying out.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sour-orange or orange marmalade
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
4 bay leaves
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 chicken paillards (or 6 chicken breast cutlets, halved horizontally and pounded to 1/4 inch thick)
2 oranges (1 thinly sliced into rounds and 1 cut into wedges)

Steps:

  • Combine marmalade, lemon juice, orange juice, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup glaze for serving.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill, and brush with half the glaze. Grill 3 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with remaining glaze. Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.
  • Place oranges on grill. Cook, flipping once, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add to platter. Serve with reserved glaze for drizzling over chicken.

This is one of my favorite grilled chicken recipes. The sour orange marinade gives the chicken a really unique and flavorful taste. I highly recommend trying it!

The sauce was a bit too runny. I think I'll let it simmer for a bit longer next time to thicken it up.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. Next time I'll be more careful to cook it just until it's done.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sour orange juice and add a bit of sweetness, maybe with honey or brown sugar.

Good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used a combination of sour orange juice and lime juice, and I added a bit of honey to the marinade to balance out the sourness. I also grilled the chicken for a few minutes longer than the recipe called for, j

Easy to follow recipe that turned out great! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I used a store bought sour orange juice, and it worked out just fine. Served it with a side of roasted potatoes and green beans.

I'm not a big fan of sour oranges, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did, because it was surprisingly good! The sour orange flavor was not overpowering, and it actually complemented the chicken very well. I will definitely be
