A simply sensational chicken dish courtesy of the Houston Chronicle. Ingredients:
5 -6 navel oranges |
1/2 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 cup light molasses |
4 bone-in skinless chicken breast halves |
coarse salt, to taste |
ground black pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 2. Squeeze oranges to yield 3 cups of juice. 3. In a large skillet, combine juice, vinegar and molasses. 4. Boil over high heat, skimming foam occasionally, until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (this should take about 10 to 15 minutes). 5. Reserve half the glaze for serving. 6. Line a sheet pan or baking dish with aluminum foil; spray with cooking spray. 7. Place chicken breasts on the foil, season generously with salt and pepper; brush with glaze. 8. Bake chicken, brushing with glaze twice, until juices run clear when pierced; approximately 35 to 40 minutes. 9. Serve hot with reserved glaze. |
