FLORIDA KEYS-STYLE CITRUS CHICKEN



Florida Keys-Style Citrus Chicken image

My family loves citrus with chicken and this recipe not only uses the juice and zest of oranges, but lemons and limes as well. Chicken breast halves are browned in olive oil and butter, simmered in a citrus juice flavored with honey, fresh thyme, garlic, and ground ginger, and then topped with orange segments and chopped chives. The taste and aroma of this Florida Keys inspired citrus chicken dish will explode in mouth-watering delight. This flavorful citrus sauce works equally well with fish or pork.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
1 tablespoon finely-grated orange peel
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon finely-grated lime peel
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely-grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
red pepper flakes, to taste
1 orange
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 small red onion, diced
splash riesling wine
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
lemon and lime wedge (Garnish)
hot cooked long-grain rice (optional)

Steps:

  • Thoroughly wash the chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the citrus juice (marinade) ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour a 1/4 cup of this mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, and reserve the remaining. Add the chicken to the bag, seal and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Turn occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, peel the orange; cut in half lengthwise then cut crosswise into slices. Set the segments aside.
  • To a hot heavy-bottom skillet, add the olive oil followed by the butter. (NOTE: The butter should foam, but not turn brown.) Add diced onions to the skillet to sweat. When softened, add the chicken. (NOTE: Discard the citrus juice in the resealable bag.) Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink.
  • Deglaze the skillet with wine. Pour the reserved citrus juice mixture over the chicken, and top with the orange slices. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.
  • To serve, divide the chicken into 4 servings; spoon drippings from the skillet over the chicken and top with the chopped chives. If desired, served with cooked rice and garnish with lemon and lime wedges.

KEY WEST CHICKEN

This recipe from the Florida Keys has been given to almost everyone I know. It is the best marinade for chicken, and it only takes 30 minutes from prep till you can grill! It's a great blend of flavors with honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. If you have time, try marinating overnight for the fullest flavor.
