Skillet Chicken Recipes

Orange Jewel Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 large navel oranges
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 green onions, sliced

Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag one at a time and pound to flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Meanwhile, cut peel away from oranges and discard; cut oranges into bite-size pieces. Add to skillet along with cranberries, honey and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until liquid has thickened slightly. Stir in green onions. Pour over chicken and serve with rice or couscous.

Makes 4 servings.
