If there's one thing I can say about cooking throughout the long summer holidays, it's that I'm getting fed up with eating chicken ! With three kids, trying to find food that they all like is sometimes complicated. Sophie hates fish. Pierre doesn't like pork. Juliette's not a fan of beef (apart from minced beef). So what's left? Well, chicken and turkey basically, along with sausages, bacon and ... err, no that's about it ! Well, I do like chicken but, I have to admit, I'm getting bored of it, so I decided to try out some dishes with different sauces and flavourings. This recipe, based on the Honey Orange BBQ Chicken recipe on the Food Network website, is very quick and simple and it tastes pretty good. The best thing about it? The kids can decide if they want to try it or just settle for plain chicken ! The original recipe has a marinade then a glaze, but I needed something quick so just went for a simple sauce.
Honey Orange BBQ Chicken
ingredients :
drizzle of olive oil
500g chicken breast
salt, pepper, smoked paprika
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (a generous splash will do)
3tbsp butter
1/4 cup honey (a good drizzle)
1/4 cup BBQ sauce (a dollop out of the bottle is good enough)
In the same pan, toss in the orange juice, honey, BBQ sauce and butter. You can use the measures or just go freestyle - taste and adjust until you get the flavour combination that suits your tastes.
We eat a lot of chicken too. This sounds so good. I could see my family liking this x
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think if you try it :)
DeleteMy guys are the same, they wouldn't eat any red meat (except as sausages and bacon, and occasionally minced meat in Bolognese). The orange and honey sauce sounds tasty.
