Orange Chicken Fillet

This recipe has become very popular on social media. Although the dish looks aesthetically pleasing, the chicken fillet can turn out a bit dry (it is a diet meal). If you use fish like salmon or sea bass instead of chicken, the result will be much tastier.

Ingredients

• Chicken fillet 3 pcs
• Orange 2 pcs
• Lemon 1 pc
• Thyme

For the sauce

• Olive oil 2 tbsp
• Honey 3 tbsp
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Paprika powder
• Orange juice 2 tbsp

Method

1. 1.Slice the chicken fillets (do not cut all the way through, leave the bottom intact) and marinate in the sauce for 4-5 hours.
2. 2.Preheat the oven to 180°C.
3. 3.Cut parchment paper into 3 pieces, fold them, tie the ends with string, and shape them into boats.
4. 4.Place orange slices, lemon slices, a sprig of thyme, and the chicken fillet inside.
5. 5.Pour the sauce over it (save a little) and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
6. 6.As it cooks, brush the remaining sauce over the chicken.

Notes

• If you use chicken thighs instead of fillets, the dish will be juicier and fattier.
• You can cook salmon or sea bass using the same method, but reduce the cooking time to 20-25 minutes.
