Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : chicken

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves -- trimmed
8 slices peeled oranges -- 1/4" thick
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
salt and white pepper -- to taste
cayenne pepper -- to taste

Preheat oven to 250F.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken
breasts and saute until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add the orange slices and saute for a few minutes on each side. Remove
from the pan and set aside. Add the orange juice and zest to the chicken;
mix thoroughly. Continue cooking until the chicken breasts are tender,
about 8-9 minutes. Remove chicken to a baking pan, cover, and place in the
oven to keep warm.

Add the cream to the skillet and heat to boiling over high heat. Boil for
2-3 minutes, stirring to deglaze the pan. Add salt and white pepper to
taste. Pour cream sauce into a gravy boat for serving.

Serve the chicken breasts with two sauteed orange slices on each piece.
Pour cream sauce over the top, then sprinkle with cayenne pepper to taste.

Well, for years I was smart.... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
