Orange Chicken Slices

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 make some tasty, tender chicken slices with a cream everyone will love.

Ingredients

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

Tools

  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Citrus Juicer

Steps

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

    Coat them on both sides with flour.

    Place the chicken breast in a preheated non-stick or stone pan, and allow it to brown without adding oil.

    In the meantime, prepare the juice from 2/3 oranges and as soon as the slices are colored, increase the heat slightly and pour over.

    Salt and add a bit of water for cooking the meat.

    Let it cook on medium-low heat for about 20/30 minutes, occasionally turning the slices.

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

  • Once ready, serve and add a nice drizzle of EVO oil now.

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

Storing Orange Chicken Slices

Orange chicken slices are best served immediately with their citrus cream.

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

When needed, reheat 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.
