Chicken with Orange and Rosemary

I think this is one of my signature dish of our daily menu. The recipe is my sister's Elisabetta. I like the sweet fruity combination of the caramelized orange with the earthy flavor of the rosemary on the juicy chicken. Actually this recipe is also very nice with mandarins if you run out of oranges. I love both of them and I can't say which one is best.

Ideally the chicken's drumstick or thigh are more indicated for the recipe but at home everyone like only the chicken breast therefore I always cook it with chicken breast.

Ingredients:

serve 4

450g chicken breast fillet

2 oranges

2 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

2 tablespoon olive oil

salt and pepper

Preheat a frying pan, add the garlic ( I put the whole clove of garlic just to give the flavor and remove it once the chicken is cooked) and rosemary let it fry for 1 min in a medium high heat. Once the garlic start to became translucent add the chicken. Cook one side of the chicken until it is golden brown and turn it on the other side. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile peel one orange and slice it lengthwise, with the other orange prepare an orange juice and pour it  into the chicken once both sides are golden brown. 

Cook the chicken in low heat until the juice caramelize. Add the sliced orange at the last moment.

Serve it warm and garnish it with fresh rosemary.
