ORANGE LEMON CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 380°F/190°C.
• Fill a saucepan with water and heat it over medium heat.
• Slice the orange and the lemon. Add them into the boiling water.
• Add the sugar and rosemary sprigs. Bring the water to a boil and leave it on heat so it can be infused with the flavors.
• Turn off the heat and pour the infused water in a large bowl. Let it cool down then add the chicken breast, cover the bowl with plastic foil, and let the meat marinate for 1 hour.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet. Add the garlic and the marinated chicken. Make a few superficial cuts over the surface of the meat and season it with herb salt.
• Sear the meat for 3-4 minutes per side.
• Next, slide the skillet into the oven for the next 20 minutes.
• Thinly slice the chicken after it has cooked, and serve it with your favorite side!

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-in.-thick slices, then cut each slice in half lengthwise so you end up with finger-size pieces. Combine chicken, soy sauce, cornstarch, and 1/4 tsp. white pepper in a small bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Zest orange into a small bowl. Segment orange: With a sharp knife, trim off ends and set a cut side down on a cutting board. Following the curve of the fruit, trim off peel and white pith. Set a strainer in a separate bowl and, working over bowl, slice segments free of membranes. Squeeze juice from membranes into strainer. Measure 3 tbsp. juice and add to bowl with zest. Set orange segments aside.
• Cut lemon in half and set one half aside. Zest and juice the other half into bowl with orange juice and zest, then add brown sugar, sesame oil, and remaining 1/4 tsp. white pepper. Set sauce aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and ginger and cook until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Push onion and ginger to one side of pan and add chicken in a single layer. Let sear undisturbed 2 minutes. Add celery and citrus sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes more.
• Remove from heat and stir in reserved orange segments. Pour into serving bowl or onto a platter. Squeeze juice from reserved lemon half over chicken and shower with slivered green onion. Serve with steamed rice if you like.
