I often prepare orange chicken slices in the autumn, when these wonderful citrus fruits start arriving on our tables.

A simple dish where I like to highlight that I achieve it without browning oil and without adding fats.

Just a few steps and you’ll create appetizing, tender chicken slices with a cream that everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 0.88 lbs chicken breast (sliced)
  • 0.85 cups oranges (about 2/3 oranges)
  • 0.21 cups flour (I use type 2)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste salt

Tools

  • 1 Frying Pan
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Citrus Juicer

Steps

  • Take the chicken breast slices, I always buy free-range if I can find it.

    Coat them in flour on both sides.

    In a preheated non-stick or stone pan, place the chicken breast and let it brown without adding oil.

    In the meantime, prepare a juice with 2/3 oranges and as soon as the slices are colored, turn up the heat a little and pour over.

    Add salt and a bit of water for cooking the meat.

    Cook over medium-low heat for about 20/30 minutes, occasionally turning the slices.

    If you see the liquids thickening too much and the meat is not cooked yet, add a little more water or orange juice.

  • Once ready, serve and only now add a nice drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

    Add the orange cream left in the pan to the meat and enjoy your tasty dish without fats but with lots of flavors.

Storage of Orange Chicken Slices

The orange chicken slices are best served fresh with their citrus cream.

If there are leftovers, store them in a covered container in the fridge for up to two days.

Reheat as needed and enjoy again.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
