Orange-Thyme Chicken In Garlic Sauce

• 2 cups orange juice
• 3 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 3 teaspoons dried thyme, divided
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup chicken broth
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon jarred roasted minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• Orange slices, optional
• Fresh thyme sprigs, optional

1. Place orange juice and 2 tablespoons thyme in an 8-in. square baking dish; add chicken. Refrigerate, covered, 30 minutes.
2. Remove chicken from orange juice mixture; pat chicken dry. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade; discard remaining marinade.
3. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook chicken 2-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Using tongs, remove chicken from pan, reserving butter in pan.
4. Stir in flour until blended. Cook 30-45 seconds, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Gradually stir in broth and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
5. Stir in green onions, roasted garlic, orange zest and remaining minced thyme. Return chicken to pan; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, 4-5 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165u0b0. If desired, serve with orange slices and thyme sprigs.
