New Chicken Recipe

Hi Everyone,

I am having such a wonderful day today.  Had Ladies Bible Study today and it was really nice getting together with other ladies to study God's Word.  However, before I left I put some chicken breasts in the oven using a new recipe.  I want to share that recipe with you.  I was watching Holiday with Gordon Ramsey the other day and he showed how he makes his holiday turkey and I thought I would use his idea with my chicken breast, but I did it my way.  I call my recipe Bacon and Orange Chicken.  Here is my recipe:

Bacon and Orange Chicken

3 large chicken breast with skin on
1/2 lb of bacon
3 cups of orange juice
1 large onion cut in half

Place the 3 chicken breast in roaster skin side up.  Season with a little salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder and Italian seasoning.  Place bacon strips on top of each breast.  Arrange onion halves along chicken breasts.  Pour in 2 cups of orange juice.  Place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 degrees.  Bake until golden brown on top, the bacon is crisp and the breasts are thoroughly cooked.  Basted chicken breasts several times during the cooking process and add the 3rd cup of juice if you desire, I did.  When done take the breasts out of the roaster and set aside to rest while you make the gravy Also remove the onion halves..   If you have made mashed potatoes for the meal reserved some of the potato water to add to the orange juice broth you cooked the chicken in.  Season more if needed.  Add corn starch to thicken.  This makes a delicious bacon and citrus gravy, very unique.

Serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable.

Enjoy the recipe and let me know if you try it.

Hugs,
Janet
