What You Need
Instructions
Finely grate 1/2 tsp (2 ml) of zest from orange; set aside. Squeeze out 1/2 cup (125 ml) juice. In a bowl, combine, orange juice, garlic and honey.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown chicken, turning once, for about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Pour orange juice mixture into pan and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits stuck to pan. Boil for about 3 min or until reduced by about half.
Return chicken to pan, discarding any accumulated juices, and stir to coat in sauce. Stir in orange zest and cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, for about 2 min or until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is slightly thickened.
Tips
Air-chilled chicken works best for this recipe so it browns nicely and gets a good flavour.
For the Adventurous: Add 1/4 tsp (1 ml) hot pepper flakes to the orange juice mixture. Sprinkle each serving with shredded fresh basil.
