Orange Basil Chicken

This chicken is delicious served with a little of the orange sauce, along with rice and your favorite vegetables.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves, skin removed
• 3/4 cup chicken broth
• juice and zest of 2 oranges
• 2 tablespoons vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 to 6 medium basil leaves, chopped, or about 1 teaspoon dried leaf basil
• 1 tablespoon freshly minced parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 4 medium cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• dash onion powder

Preparation:

Wash chicken breast halves; pat dry. Place the halves between sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly to flatten. Combine remaining ingredients in a food storage bag; add the chicken pieces. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Grill or broil the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts. In a saucepan, simmer the remaining marinade for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly reduced.

Serve chicken with a little of the sauce or a fruit salsa, if desired.
Serves 4.
