Herbed Orange Chicken
All natural chicken breast marinated in orange juice, garlic, basil and thyme
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Whisk the orange juice, oil, garlic, black pepper, basil and thyme in a large nonmetallic bowl until well blended. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours or overnight, turning the chicken over twice during the chill time.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Spray a sauté pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 min. (to prevent sticking, make sure the pan is hot before adding the chicken). Turn the chicken over. Cook for another 2 min. or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. *See recipe note below.
Notes
*Great addition to Ryder's Salad: Let chicken cool. Cover and chill. Slice chicken and serve with the salad.
