Chicken breast with oranges in sweet and sour marinade

4 servings

Ingredients.

If you use frozen breast, then it is better to thaw it at room temperature naturally. We dry my breast, remove the skin. Carefully separate the meat from the bone with a sharp knife. Divide the fillet into medium-sized pieces.

Let's deal with the marinade. For this dish, marinade plays a major role. Since the breast is a dry part of the bird, we need to make the meat juicy. Marinade, which includes lemon juice, will perfectly cope with this task. So, we squeeze the juice from two lemons. You can use a citrus juicer.

For the marinade, we take a spacious convenient container, in which the breast will then marinate. Dry my parsley, finely cut. Combine lemon juice, honey, olive oil, parsley, Provence herbs, basil, salt. We mix everything well. You can use any fragrant herbs to taste that are suitable for baking chicken.

Lower pieces of chicken breast into the marinade. It is desirable that the chicken is as liquid as possible. This should be taken into account when choosing dishes. We leave the breast to marinate for 1 hour.

After the time has expired, transfer the fillet to the baking dish along with the marinade. Bake in the oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 35 minutes. During this time, the marinade will partially evaporate.

My orange, cut with a sharp knife into thin circles.

We take the tin with chicken breast out of the oven, arrange circles of orange on top and between the pieces. Put the tin back in the oven for 15 minutes. We take it out and serve it right away. Enjoy your meal!
