Orange Dijon Garlic Chicken Recipes

ORANGE DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Use a citrus juicer to juice the Cara Cara and Navel Oranges until you have one cup of fresh juice. (I don't use the Blood Orange for the juice because it changes the bright color of the juice). You can strain the juice through a mesh strainer if you want pure juice without the pulp.
• Use a very sharp knife to trim the top and bottom of the oranges and give them a flat base to rest on while you cut away the rest of the skin. Cut away the rind of the orange by slicing from the top, following the natural curve of the fruit to remove the peel and white pith so that the fruit is exposed.
• Continue in this fashion until all of the peel has been removed.
• To supreme the orange, use a sharp knife and carefully slice next to the membrane of one segment of the orange and follow to the next, to loosen and remove them, so there's no pith or peel attached to the fruit. Continue until the fruit has been supremed. Transfer the orange segments to a bowl and set aside.
• Slice the leeks in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/2" pieces, crosswise. Transfer leeks to a large bowl filled with cool water and swish vigorously to loosen any dirt or debris trapped between the layers.
• Lift the leeks out of the water and transfer to a salad spinner. Spin dry and set aside.
• In a shallow bowl or pan combine the flour, salt, pepper and cayenne. Whisk to combine.
• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and dip them into the flour mixture to coat them completely.
• Add olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes before flipping the chicken with a pair of tongs. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, then transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Turn the heat down to medium and add butter to the skillet. Stir the leeks into the butter to coat. Cover the skillet with the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the leeks are softened and translucent.
• Stir in the mustard, honey, thyme, broth, orange juice and vermouth, and turn up the heat to bring the sauce to a boil.
• Transfer the chicken to the pan and nestle them down into the sauce. Cover and cook for 5-8 more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
• If you want to thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry and stir into the sauce. Let it come to a boil and cook for one minute. The sauce will thicken.
• Stir in the segmented oranges to warm them through.
• To serve, spoon the cooked orzo or egg noodles onto a plate. Top with a chicken breast and spoon the orange dijon sauce over the top.

CREAMY GARLIC DIJON CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Season the chicken evenly on both sides with 1½ tablespoons salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan (it will not be fully cooked) and set aside. Wipe out the pan if it looks charred.
• Melt the butter in the pan over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute, then whisk in flour. Pour in the chicken broth, whisking, then add French's Dijon Mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and whisk until smooth. Simmer sauce for 1-2 minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Return the sauce to a simmer, place the chicken in the sauce, and cover the pan with a lid. Simmer until chicken is fully cooked through, 5-10 minutes.
• Remove chicken from the pan. Stir the minced parsley and lemon zest into the sauce, then taste for seasoning. Slice the chicken. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt to taste. Saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Remove mushrooms from the pan.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pan. Add asparagus and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Add the peas and cook 1 minute more.
• Place the vegetables on a plate. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with the dijon sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley.
• Enjoy!

GARLIC AND CITRUS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle the cavity with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with the orange, lemon, and garlic halves. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string to help hold its shape. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Place a rack in a large roasting pan. Place the chicken, breast side up, on the rack in the pan. Roast the chicken for 1 hour, basting occasionally and adding some chicken broth to the pan, if necessary, to prevent the pan drippings from burning. Whisk the orange juice, lemon juice, oil, oregano, and chopped garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Brush some of the juice mixture over the chicken, after it has baked 1 hour. Continue roasting the chicken until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the innermost part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F, basting occasionally with the juice mixture and adding broth to the pan, about 45 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Tent with foil while making the sauce (do not clean the pan).
• Place the same roasting pan over medium-low heat. Whisk in any remaining broth and simmer until the sauce is reduced to 1 cup, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Strain into a 2-cup glass measuring cup and discard the solids. Spoon the fat from the top of the sauce. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce.
