Here’s a really nice recipe that will be a wonderful addition to your meal planning. This easy grilled orange chicken recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts and a few common ingredients – most notably frozen orange juice concentrate, to create a healthy, nutritious and delicious meal.
As with most chicken recipes for a Foreman Grill, you’ll want to pound the chicken breasts to approximately 1/2″ thick. This does 2 things, it ensures even cooking on the electric grill, and also helps to tenderize the meat.
The easiest method for this is to simply place the chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper, place on a wooden cutting board or kitchen counter, and use a meat mallet and pound them to a nice even thickness.
This recipe works fantastic as a meal all its own. You can serve it over white rice or with some wild rice as a side dish and some fresh steamed or grilled vegetables. The dijon mustard in this recipe also really helps to accentuate the flavors of the orange. Throw on the orange wedges for even more flavor flair.
