Basil Orange Chicken

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Saw the ingredient list and knew it was something I would enjoy but considered the comments from the other chefs in preparing this recipe. My two changes were to add 1 teaspoon of orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. The former brightened the citrus flavor while the later created some balance to keep the dish from being too sweet. Cooked this on my indoor grill and served dinner with grilled corn on the cob and grilled potatoes. Lunch the next day was a simple salad tossed with the leftover chicken both were excellent. Made for Went to the Market game.

    Basil Orange Chicken, A simple marinade that makes a wonderfully flavorful and moist chicken Alternately you can grill the chicken after it marinates Time does not include marinating , Saw the ingredient list and knew it was something I would enjoy but considered the comments from the other chefs in preparing this recipe My two changes were to add 1 teaspoon of orange zest and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder The former brightened the citrus flavor while the later created some balance to keep the dish from being too sweet Cooked this on my indoor grill and served dinner with grilled corn on the cob and grilled potatoes Lunch the next day was a simple salad tossed with the leftover chicken both were excellent Made for Went to the Market game , I agree, this was very delicious, however pretty mild in flavor I omitted most of the oil and used only half the honey Also, I didn’t brown it before I put it in the oven, however I did broil it half-way through and it came out delicious Thanks for the recipe!
