Print Recipe
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 Limoneira valencia orange
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 chicken or turkey breast bone-in & skin-on
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Using a sharp knife or peeler, remove the peel of the orange, trying to get just the orange part and as little of the white pith as possible, then dice.
  • Add diced peel to a small pot with the juice from the orange and sugar. Stir and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Coat the chicken breast with EVOO and season with salt, pepper and rosemary. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes.
  • Remove the orange mixture from the stovetop, add salt, pepper, dijon and honey. Stir together and split the glaze into two then chill.
  • Pull the chicken from the oven after 30 minutes and top with orange glaze, optional you can add a few slices of orange and fresh rosemary to the baking dish.
  • Place the dish back in the oven and bake for the remaining 20 minutes.
  • Immediately after pulling from the oven, top chicken with more orange glaze and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve sliced with more orange glaze on the side. Enjoy!
