I make this wonderful full flavoured chicken recipe when we have our friends over. It's a nice Mediterranean tasting dish. Sometimes I grill the chicken and serve the sauce on the side as a variation. I serve it with roasted quartered potatoes and blanched collard greens, endive or dandelion leaves depending on season. Ingredients:
1/4 cup parsley, fresh, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
4 teaspoons olive oil |
2 teaspoons orange rind, grated |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
8 slices prosciutto |
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar |
2 teaspoons unsalted butter |
Directions:
1. In small bowl, mix together all but 2 teaspoons of the parsley, the garlic, oil, orange rind, salt and pepper; divide over chicken breast.
2. Wrap each in 2 slices prosiutto; place in greased ovenproof dish.
3. Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. remove dish from oven; transfer chicken to servin plate and keep warm. Add vinegar to pan; scraping up any brown bits from bottom with wooden spoon.
4. Place over high heat. Add orange juice and sugar; boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted. Pour over chicken; garnish with remaining parsley.
