Orange/Honey Glazed Chicken

Orange/Honey Glazed Chicken

This is the first entry into FOOD JIM-POSSIBLE.  Yes, anything I make is POSSIBLE for anyone who is tired of the "same old stuff" for dinner, snack, dessert, whatever.  Don't spend your hard earned money on some second rate restaurant who claims to have the "best food in town".  B.S.  Grab a pot or pan, your favorite knife and start cooking.  You'll quickly discover that the more you do the better it gets.  Customize any recipe into something magical you and yours can enjoy.

My Ingredients:

2 Large Chicken Breasts

1/3 cup Honey

1/3 cup orange juice

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp teriyaki sauce

3/4 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp corn starch

My Method:

Cut the chick breasts in half (you will have 4 nice portions).

Place a sautee pan on the stove on medium heat and get it nice and hot (about 2-3 minutes), add 2 tsp butter and 2 tsp olive oil to the pan, melting it with a swirling motion.  When the mixture is melted add your 4 pieces of chicken to the pan to "brown" them.  Cook approx. 2 minutes per side.  Then remove from the pan and let rest on a plate.

In a small mixing bowl whisk the honey, orange juice, paprika, salt pepper, teriyaki sauce and mustard together briskly until all of the honey is well blended.  Then add the corn starch to the mixture, whisking until blended.  Pour this mixture into a quart sized zip-lock baggie and drop in your chicken pieces.  Place the bag in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.  Make sure you get this mixture all over each piece of chicken and turn it a few times during the refrigeration time.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pour the chicken and mixture into a baking dish 8x8 if you have it however any size will do.  Bake the chicken for 30 minutes then baste with the juice on the bottom of the pan.  Cook for 15-20 minutes more and remove from the oven.  The leftover liquid in the baking dish should be reduced by 1/2 in a small sauce pan and then poured over your chicken.

I serve this with a nice butter and herb egg noodle however rice can also make a great meal.
