Orange Chicken

Even though Gavin has improved DRASTICALLY in the last few weeks with at the very least trying some of the new dishes I make, I'm always on a quest for recipes that I'm pretty durn positive he'll like.

Is there a kid out there who doesn't like juice??

Mmmm, a little sweet, a little tart, a LOT good.

Orange Chicken
Recipe slightly adapted from Four-Ingredient Cookbook

6-8 chicken breasts
Salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 cup flour
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 can orange juice concentrate, thawed
2-3 green onions, chopped

1.  Preheat oven to 375.  Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Alwaysalwaysalwaysalways season the meat!!

2.  Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.  Dredge lightly in flour and add to the hot skillet.  Brown the chicken on both sides before placing in a lightly greased baking pan.

Brown.

3.  Scatter green onions over top of the chicken breasts.  Drizzle with the orange juice.  Cover pan with foil and bake, covered for 1 hour.  Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.

Ready for drizzling!

 As with most chicken dishes, I do think rice is a great companion to this dish.  I like to drizzle the thickened orange sauce over it...sooo yummy!  Add a green salad or steamed veggie of your choice and you're set!
