Well it is still cool outside today, but the forecast for the weekend is high 80's and into the 90's. Now that's what I'm talking about! Bring on the heat. I am so ready for some warm weather. So today here is a recipe than can go into the oven while you still have a little cool weather, because you all know once it gets hot, it is outdoor cooking time. Or stovetop grilling time. No one wants to put the oven on in 90 degree weather.
CHICKEN WITH MARSALA AND ORANGES
2 1/2 pounds of chicken, or 4 or 5 half breasts (skin on is best but you can use skinless)
flour
1 large orange
3 cups Marsala wine
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper the chicken pieces. Put 1 cup flour into a plastic bag with some salt and pepper. Put a couple of pieces of chicken in the bag and shake until well coated. Do this with all of the pieces. Lay them out on a piece of foil wrap. In a saucepan put the wine and sugar and cook until it becomes like syrup. About 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the orange juice. In a skillet, put enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Fry the chicken just until brown on each side. Transfer to a baking dish. Pour the Marsala over all. Slice the orange into thick slices and nestle in between the chicken. Bake in the oven, uncovered, at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Serve with fresh green beans dressed with a mixture of olive oil and vinegar and sprinkled with toasted almonds. Wonderful!
Thanks for stopping in today
