Recipe Introduction


This is a simply delightful chicken dish that I have slightly altered from it's origional state to suit my tastes. The chicken comes out tender every time!


List of Ingredients




2 chicken breast halves
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup clarified butter
1/2 teaspon celery seed
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup fresh orange juice or 1/3 cup frozen orange juice
concentrate plus 1/2 cup water
1 peeled orange, cut in 8 wedges

Recipe



Wash and dry chicken breasts. Combine flour, salt and pepper in small paper bag. Put in chicken and shake to coat evenly. Heat oil in heavy skillet; add chicken; sprinkle with celery seed. Brown on both sides over low heat. Remove chicken and place in a 2-quart baking dish. Cook onion in same skillet until tender. Add orange juice and bring to a boil to loosen brown particles from skillet and reduce by 1/2. Pour over chicken. Arrange orange wedges over chicken in baking dish. Cover and bake in 300 degree oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until chicken is fork tender.
