Main Dish
Ingredients: 4
chicken breasts,
boneless
Salt
Freshly ground pepper 1/4
cup
fresh orange juice 1
tablespoon
canola oil 1
tablespoon
chili powder 1
teaspoon
grated orange rind 1
garlic clove,
crushed
1/4
teaspoon
cayenne pepper,
optional
Directions:
1.
Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large resealable plastic bag, mix orange juice, oil, chili powder, orange rind, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Add chicken breasts; toss to coat. Refrigerate 6 to 8 hours.
2.
Heat broiler. Position broiler rack 6 inches from heat source. Broil chicken 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking time, just until cooked through.
Marinating imbues bland chicken breasts with flavor and makes them very moist. This simple marinade can be put together in 10 minutes. At dinner-time, simply broil the chicken. Serve with a side of broccoli and a dollop of sour cream mixed with a dash of chili powder.
