Florida Keys-Style Citrus Chicken
- 4 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
- Citrus Juice (Marinade)
- 1 tablespoon finely-grated orange peel
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon finely-grated lime peel
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon finely-grated lemon peel
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- red pepper flakes, to taste
- Additional Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 small red onion, diced
- splash riesling wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- lemon and lime wedge (Garnish)
- hot cooked long-grain rice (optional)
- Thoroughly wash the chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Whisk together the citrus juice (marinade) ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour a 1/4 cup of this mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, and reserve the remaining. Add the chicken to the bag, seal and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Turn occasionally.
- Meanwhile, peel the orange; cut in half lengthwise then cut crosswise into slices. Set the segments aside.
- To a hot heavy-bottom skillet, add the olive oil followed by the butter. (NOTE: The butter should foam, but not turn brown.) Add diced onions to the skillet to sweat. When softened, add the chicken. (NOTE: Discard the citrus juice in the resealable bag.) Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink.
- Deglaze the skillet with wine. Pour the reserved citrus juice mixture over the chicken, and top with the orange slices. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.
- To serve, divide the chicken into 4 servings; spoon drippings from the skillet over the chicken and top with the chopped chives. If desired, served with cooked rice and garnish with lemon and lime wedges.
