Sour Orange Grilled Chicken

This was really easy and had great flavors. Forgot to take the picture after the extra sauce was put on the chicken (also forgot to slice up the extra oranges I bought!), but you get the idea. We served ours with some grilled peppers and butter herb rice on the side. It was good!





Sour-Orange Grilled Chicken

Ingredients
Serves 6

1 cup sour-orange or orange marmalade
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
4 bay leaves
Coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
12 chicken paillards (or 6 chicken breast cutlets, halved horizontally and pounded to 1/4 inch thick) [We just butterflied ours and used 2 large ones but made the same amount of sauce]
2 oranges (1 thinly sliced into rounds and 1 cut into wedges)

Directions

Combine marmalade, lemon juice, orange juice, bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Reserve 1/3 cup glaze for serving.

Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.) Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken on grill, and brush with half the glaze. Grill 3 minutes. Flip chicken, and brush with remaining glaze. Grill until chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a platter.

Place oranges on grill. Cook, flipping once, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add to platter. Serve with reserved glaze for drizzling over chicken.

Wish I'd remembered the oranges part! Oh well... You can try that one!
