Tangerine Marmalade Chicken with Toasted Pecans

 

This recipe makes an impressive main dish that is easy to put together.

I like to serve the chicken over wild rice

 

 

Ingredient List

Marinade:

  • 3 tbsp orange juice concentrate
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Sauce:

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Side Dish: Wild Rice

Directions:


In a large resealable plastic bag, combine orange juice concentrate, 2 tablespoons olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic.  Add chicken, seal bag, and turn to coat chicken.  Refrigerate for 3 hours.

 

Remove chicken; reserve marinade for the sauce.  Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to a skillet and heat to medium.  Cook the chicken until the juices run clear, remove from heat, and keep warm.

 

In a separate pan, sauté the pecans with 2 tablespoons butter until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.  Remove the nuts and save to garnish the chicken.

 

In a sauce pan, sauté the green onions with 1 tablespoon of butter until tender.  Add the reserved marinade and the next 8 ingredients.  Bring to a rolling boil; boil for 2 minutes.  Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes or until sauce reaches desired consistency. 

 

Serve chicken over rice.  Top with sauce, reserved onions, and pecans. Yields: 4 servings
