The recipe for orange chicken fillets is perfect if accompanied by both cold and hot side dishes. It is a delicious second course that, in addition to basmati rice, can become a complete and tasty single dish.
Procedure
1
Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for about 1 hour and then proceed with the preparation.
2
Grate the orange peel avoiding the white part: this step is fundamental to prevent the chicken from acquiring a bitter aftertaste. At this point squeeze the orange and save the juice.
3
Dust the chicken breasts with flour and brown them in a pan with a knob of butter. When they are golden, add the grated orange peel and deglaze with the juice.
4
Add also the glass of brandy on high heat and wait a few moments for the alcohol to evaporate.
5
When it has evaporated, remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a plate, add the milk to the sauce and scent with some sprigs of thyme until it thickens well. Stir and cook on low heat until you have obtained a soft sauce. Pour it over the chicken breasts before bringing them to the table, adjust with pepper and garnish with some slices of orange.
