Easy Grilled Orange Chicken Recipe
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.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless skinless pounded to approximately 1/2″ thickness
- ½ can orange juice concentrate (6 ounces) thawed or partially thawed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ orange cut into wedges
Instructions
- Place pounded chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish or ziplock bag.
- Add orange juice, mustard, pepper and salt.
- Mix well and make sure the chicken is well coated.
- Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes. If you can marinate longer, go for it!
- Preheat your George Foreman or other indoor grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Use high setting if you have it.
- Place chicken breasts on grill and close lid.
- Let grill for about 5 minutes and check for doneness.
- Make sure there is NO pink in the middle. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- 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.
