Chicken with Orange Marmalade

Adapted from Canyon Ranch Nourish - indulgently healthy cuisine

This is plain but a good basic recipe to have.

Ingredients:


1/4 cup orange marmalade
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Four 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups Cranberry Orzo

Directions:


Preheat the oven to 375.

Stir together the orange marmalade and lemon juice.  Set aside.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.  Sear the chicken for 1 mine on each side.

Transfer the breasts to a baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165.

Serve each chicken breast topped with 1 Tbsp marmalade mixture and 1/3 cup cranberry orzo.
