Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blood Orange Glazed Chicken.
Step 1
Begin by placing the chicken breasts in a glass or ceramic bowl, then squeeze the juice from two blood oranges over them.
Step 2
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 3
Once the marination is complete, take the chicken out, shaking off any excess marinade.
Step 4
Season generously with salt and pepper, and discard the leftover marinade.
Step 5
In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the chicken and cook for approximately 4 minutes on each side until it achieves a lovely golden brown color.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover it with aluminum foil to keep it warm.
Step 8
Juice the remaining three blood oranges and set the juice aside for later use.
Step 9
In a clean skillet, melt butter over medium heat, then add minced onion and chopped garlic.
Step 10
Sauté until the onion turns translucent and the garlic is lightly browned, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 11
Next, pour in the reserved blood orange juice, chicken stock, white wine, and chopped parsley, stirring to combine.
Step 12
Bring this vibrant mixture to a boil.
Step 13
Return the chicken to the skillet, lower the heat, and cover.
Step 14
Let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink inside, which should take about 7 minutes per side.
Step 15
An instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's safe to eat.
Step 16
Once done, transfer the chicken to serving plates.
Step 17
To finish, add honey to the pan juices and let it simmer for about 2 minutes until it dissolves and the sauce thickens.
Step 18
Drizzle this luscious sauce over the chicken and serve, savoring the delightful blend of flavors that will transport your taste buds to a sun-kissed citrus grove.
