POLLO ALL'ARANCIA (ITALIAN ORANGE CHICKEN)
Ingredients:
8 thin-sliced chicken cutlets
2 large oranges (preferably organic)
Flour as needed for coating meat
5 TBSP olive oil
3 Oz white wine
Garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Coat cutlets with flour on all sides.
Set aside.
Remove zest from one orange and set aside.
Cut and juice both oranges.
Remove any seeds, if needed.
Pour oil in a large sauté pan and place over medium-hot flame.
When oil is warm, add each cutlet side-by-side carefully in pan.
Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Sauté each side for a couple minutes or until golden.
Add white wine and allow alcohol to evaporate.
Next, add all of the orange juice evenly over cutlets.
Cover and bring to a slow simmer on low heat.
Simmer for about 10-15 minutes or until orange juice forms a creamy sauce.
Generously sprinkle orange zest over chicken before serving.
Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.
TIPS:
Using a large sauté pan is recommended because chicken cutlets should be side-by-side, not on top of each other for best results.
If you can’t find thin-sliced chicken breast cutlets, buy regular ones and pound them until thin.
