3 skin-on bone-in chicken breast halves
1 T vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 c frozen orange juice concentrate
1/4 c honey
Preheat oven to 375. Salt and pepper chicken breast halves. Heat oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat and sear chicken, skin side only, until brown.
In small saucepan, heat orange juice concentrate, honey, salt and pepper over medium heat. Bring to boil for 3 minutes, remove from heat. Turn chicken skin side up and brush with glaze.
Transfer pan to oven and bake until juices run clear when pierced. Brush on half of remaining glaze halfway through cooking. Remove chicken from pan and rest 10 minutes. Return sauce to boil and reduce by 1/2. Remove bone and slice meat on the bias. Serve chicken with sauce over steamed rice. Serves 4.
I love Chinese food, and have always wondered if I'd be able to pull off making it at home... might have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, now that I think about it, this isn't technically Chinese food (Duh - l'orange) but it's on it's way to that type of taste...
ReplyDeleteMy family loves orange chicken (Chinese) but it's super bad for you so I was looking for a healthier alternative. This was very good and yes, it has the same taste.
