Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

2 blood oranges, juiced

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

0.5 onion, minced

3 cloves garlic, chopped

180 ml chicken stock

45 ml dry white wine

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

15 ml honey

Directions

Step 1

In a glass or ceramic bowl, place the chicken breasts and squeeze the juice of two blood oranges over them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.

Step 4

Juice the remaining three blood oranges.

Step 5

Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and chopped garlic; cook and stir until the onion is translucent and the garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining blood orange juice, chicken stock, white wine, and parsley; bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the chicken to serving plates.

Step 6

Add honey to the pan juices and simmer until dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
