Sweet Citrus Brown Sugar Chicken

Grilled, glazed chicken skewers with a side of dipping sauce, served on a white plate with lime wedges.

The fabulous flavors of Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil and Satsuma Mandarin Orange White Balsamic Vinegar really make this dish a "must try" to serve to family and friends!

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a small bowl, add 1/2 C. of the Sorrento Lemon Oil.  In the small bowl, slowly add (whisking constantly), the Mandarin Orange Balsamic Vinegar until emulsified.  Place the boneless chicken breasts in a large heavy-duty zip-top bag.  Pour the oil/vinegar marinade over the chicken and seal the bag.  Handle the sealed bag a few times to mix the chicken and marinade.  Place the chicken in the refrigerator overnight, turning occasionally.

Drain chicken thoroughly and lightly pat dry. In a clean, large heavy-duty, zip-top bag, combine flour, salt, paprika, and pepper.  Put 2 pieces of chicken into bag at a time and shake, coating completely.

Heat Sorrento Lemon Olive Oil in a frying pan and sauté chicken pieces a few at a time, until browned.  Arrange chicken in a single layer in a large, shallow baking dish.  Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and top with lemon zest.  Mix chicken broth and 1 T. Mandarin Orange Balsamic Vinegar together; carefully pour the broth/vinegar mixture around the chicken.  Top each piece of chicken with a lemon slice. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes. Serve with wild rice and your favorite oven roasted or steamed vegetables.
