Rich, sweet, orangy basil sauce makes this chicken special! Ingredients:
4 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 medium thin-skinned oranges, unpeeled |
10 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed |
1 cup roughly chopped white onion |
1/2 cup packed chopped fresh basil |
1/2 cup sherry wine |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
1 cup heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Rub chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and cinnamon.

5. Add the orange wedges, garlic, onion, basil, sherry, and melted butter into the roasting pan; stir well, cover and roast in oven for 30 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
