Usually not a big fan of the sweet and sour mix, I was yet curious about this recipe so I tried it. It was good, I wouldn’t have it everyday, but from time to time why not, it’s a bit different than the traditional way of cooking chicken.
Ingredients for 4 portions:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 2 oranges
- 2 lemons
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons of soya sauce
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh thyme
- Pepper
- Flaked almonds or pine nuts
Times:
- Preparation: 10 mins
- Cooking: 30 mins
- Rest: 1 h
1- Squeeze the lemons and the oranges. Peel and chop the garlic gloves.
2- Mix the lemon and orange juices with the olive oil, the soya sauce, the honey, the garlic, the thyme and the pepper in a small bowl.
3- Place the chicken breast into a greased dish and pour the marinade over. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for an hour.
4- Preheat the oven at 210 Celcius degrees. Put the dish in the oven for about 30 minutes, and turn the chicken breast up side down after 15 minutes.
5- In the meantime grilled the flaked almonds, and served the chicken breasts hot with almonds spread over.
Le riz aux vermicelles de téta ferait très joli sur la photo je pense!! Autrement, c’est une recette que je vais tester sur mon cher et tendre cette semaine sans lui dire bien entendu que c’est sucré salé. Comme sa fille, il n’en est pas très fan!
