DIY Healthy Food - Marmalade Chicken

Chicken. It can be so boring if you let it. When I first met my husband he used to brag that he ate boiled chicken. Yuck. 

I didn't understand why he thought that was a good thing when you can add in some flavorings and make it just as healthy. 

We have a recipe for Orange Marmalade Chicken that we found on the Canyon Rance Recipes only we don't really follow the recipe. Remember to use organic ingredients!

Marmalade Chicken

4 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 1 minute on each side. 

Transfer chicken breast to a baking dish and add vegetable stock and Bragg's Amino Acids or a tamari sauce until the bottom of the pan is covered. 

Marmalade Sauce

¼ cup organic orange marmalade
½ Tbsp fresh lemon juice

Mix marmalade and lemon juice together and spoon onto chicken breasts.  

Cook in oven at 350' for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.

The saltiness of the stock and the Amino Acids compliment the sweetness of the marmalade perfectly.

We created a tempe stirfry on the side and the meal was fabulous!

Jalapeno Chicken Recipe
(Since you know I can't leave a recipe alone)

I made a jalapeno jelly during the holidays and we recently used that instead of the orange marmalade. Oh my gosh! It was sooooo good! Jalapeno Jelly recipe coming soon.

Happy Healthy 2014!
