Blood Orange Chicken
Chicken with blood oranges? I am so in love with this recipe! I set out to create a dish that highlighted the deep citrus flavor and absolutely beautiful coloring of blood oranges. Pair it with some fresh steamed vegetables for a healthy dinner!
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4
blood oranges, divided
5
unknown
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
olive oil
3
tablespoons
butter
1
tablespoon
onion, minced
½
garlic, chopped
3
cloves
chicken stock
¾
cup
dry white wine
3
tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
1
teaspoon
honey
1
tablespoon
 Place chicken breasts into a glass or ceramic bowl. Juice two of the blood oranges over the chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
  Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Discard remaining marinade.
  Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  Juice the remaining three blood oranges.
  Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent and garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining blood orange juice, chicken stock, white wine, and parsley; bring to a boil. Return chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving plates.
  Add honey to the pan juices and simmer until dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
