Directions
Roast Chicken Breasts with Oranges and Basil Cream, Rich, sweet, orangy basil sauce makes this chicken special!, I am giving this recipe five stars despite the self inflicted difficulties I encountered You should not attempt to add the cream and simmer until slightly thickend while your two minor children compete for the WWF championship belt or whatever it was they were doing Aside from the broken sauce, which caused me to have to strain all the goodies out so I could reclaim it, the recipe was very easy to follow My oldest daughter proclaimed the chicken to be perfect The chicken had a citrus aroma and flavor, and the sauce was a perfect compliment both on the chicken and on the rice I did cut my chicken breasts in half (Most of us can’t eat a full breast) and reduced the oven time by about 10 minutes I also substituted about 1Tbsp dry basil, my local store did not have any fresh available , I made this for dinner tonight, served with rice (although I think spaghetti noodles would have been better) It was an easy dish to make and smelled wonderful while cooking, but I was a little disappointed in the taste It wasn’t a sweet orangy taste like the recipe described, but had a bitter aftertaste However, it may have been the oranges used They were Valencia oranges with a thick skin I am giving this recipe a four-star rating, because I think with the right kind of oranges, it would have been very good I’m planning on trying it again
