I just love a big bright orange. Duck a l’Orange is one of my favs, but it’s comes at a calorie price.
So I make lighter version of Chicken a l’Orange. It still takes decadent but with a LOT less fat, less sugar, and a LOT less calories.
- 1 tablespoon I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter
- 2-4 skinless chicken breasts
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup Tropicana Trop50 orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 2 tablespoons sugar free orange marmalade
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 fresh orange
- 1 pan with a lid (or tin foil)
- Flat wooden spoon
- Zester
- Extra plate and tin foil
- Bowl
- Whisk
- Melt butter in a pan
- alt and pepper the chicken breast and lay them in the pan
- Pan sear until cooked and no longer pink inside (a few minutes per side depending on thickness)
- Remove cooked chicken and put on plate, cover with tin foil, and set aside
- Deglaze the pan with the orange juice
- With a flat wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan (that’s where the goodies are)and bring it just to a simmer
- In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, mustard, marmalade, and soy sauce
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and keep whisking until it thickens (a few minutes)
- Take the pan off the heat, add the chicken to the pan, spoon some of the marmalade over the chicken and cover it with a lid to l t it rest for a minute.
- Plate your sides in the middle of the plate (I did brown rice medley and fresh corn), then place a piece of the chicken over that.
- Zest an orange and use it for a garnish.
- Slice the orange, then cut a wedge from the center to the edge. Twist it and use one slice as a top garnish.
