i thought this recipe sounded really good. cooking was easy -- the only difficult thing was keeping the breading on the chicken once i had placed in the pan of oil. i've learned since when turning the meat, using tongs, you have to be delicate with it... otherwise the breading just falls off. the chicken came out very moist and with a nice flavor to it. i think using the orange blossom honey really makes the dish.
Orange Chip Chicken
pillsbury kid's bake-off
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup progresso italian style bread crumbs
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil
4 (4 to 5 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 large orange, cut into 6Y¥slices
3 tablespoons orange blossom honey
1 tablespoon butter
In medium bowl, combine egg and milk; mix thoroughly. In shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and potato chips; mix well. Dip chicken in egg mixture; coat with bread crumb mixture.
Heat oil in 12 inch skillet over medium heat until hot. Add coated chicken and 4 orange slices to skillet. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning chicken occasionally and gently squeezing orange slices several times to extract juice.
Remove orange slices from skillet. Add honey and butter to skillet; reduce heat to low. Turn chicken twice to coat. To serve, garnish with remaining orange slices.
Yield: 4 servings
