Instructions

  1. For the orange citrus glaze: Whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, oregano, sherry vinegar, 2 large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil to create an emulsion. Yield: about 1 cup
  2. For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack over the sheet.
  3. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Coat the chicken with the canola oil and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the rack set over the baking sheet and roast in the oven until cooked through and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with 2/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze in 5 minutes intervals. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Reserve the remaining glaze for Roasted Asparagus with Orange Glaze.
  4. For the asparagus: Whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, honey, oregano, sherry vinegar, 2 large pinches of salt and a pinch of pepper. Slowly incorporate the canola oil to create an emulsion. Yield: about 1 cup
  5. For the asparagus: Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  6. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil in a large bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the asparagus to the hot baking sheet and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of the orange citrus glaze and sprinkle with some orange zest.

I was so surprised! Absolutely delicious and so easy to make! family loved it too. Made scalloped potatoes with butter and olive oil. Did not have asparagus so I used broccoli and it worked!

wonderful chicken! I loved this recipe, I used free range organic chicken. It’s important you buy quality ingredients as this dish is so simple. I made the orzo pasta with arugula to accompany this dish and it was the perfect summer dish!! Great job Tiffani- I will be watching out for her recipes. Low cal and very tasty!!!!
