Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, lightly pounded
- Coarse salt and cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
- Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium high. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic burn, keep moving it around. Place the chicken on top of the garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken over and add the orange juice and thyme. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the orange juice is slightly reduced, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and place on a cutting board. Reduce the orange juice more at this time, if necessary.
- Slice chicken into thin strips. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve immediately.

Reviews
Good and very easy, perfect for a quick dinner. We served it with leftover black beans, rice and salad!
delicious and simple! however there’s not a whole lot of heat in this recipe, so i kicked it up with some cayenne pepper on my chicken with the salt and pepper. (i also didn’t have orange juice, but pineapple juice works just as well! tastes great with the cayenne too. served on a bed of rice, which really absorbed the juice and made it all extra yummy!
Very simple to prepare and had great flavor. Even the kids loved it – I will make this again.
it was OK, but not something i would probably make again
This was a great recipe. It was very quick and easy. I couldn’t believe how tasty it was considering the preparation time. I followed the recipe with the exception of using dried thyme (still good) and my orange juice evaporated before the chicken was done. I just added a bit of water which cooked down into the juice by the time the chicken was done. The chicken was still very flavorful as was the “gravy.” I served this with parmesan yukon gold mashed potatoes and a salad and it made a great meal!
I was kinda disappointed in this recipe. I followed it exactly, but it really didn’t have too much citrus flavor and the garlic was overpowering. Would not make again.
This recipe was a huge hit with the picky eaters at my house, my 4 year old could not get enough of the gravy.
My husband never eats anything good for you and he loved it also. And best yet it was the easiest dinner I ever made.

I shared this with my friend last night, and completely enjoyed it! It went quite nicely with sauteed mushrooms and sundried tomatoes on the side.
The citrus combined with the herb overtones make this dish a multi-layered treat,I also found it quite easy to prepare.When served with a candied orange slice and a thyme sprig,even my family ooohed and ahhhed!
i just loved this recipe! i cooked it for my family and they loved it too. i can’t wait untill i get to cook it again!!!!!!!!!!!!
