Orange Glazed Chicken

By Dottiejk

Ingredients

• 2 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 4 clove garlic; minced
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 3 tablespoon orange zest; divided
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• kosher salt
• pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, whisk the broth, orange juice, honey, hoisin sauce, sugar,
garlic, ginger, cayenne and 2 tablespoons of the orange zest; set aside.

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Season the
chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place four breasts in the heated
pan, searing until lightly browned on both sides. Place the chicken on a
plate, repeat with the remaining breasts.

Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat; pour in the glaze
mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the mixture is reduced
by a third. Return the chicken to the skillet, arranging in a snug, even
layer.

Place the skillet in the oven and roast the chicken for about 20 minutes or
until the internal temperature is 165°F. Remove the chicken from the
skillet and place on a large platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Set the
skillet with the glaze mixture over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the sauce by about a third until thickened, about five minutes.
Pour over the chicken. Garnish with remaining orange zest and serve.
