Skinny Citrus Chicken
Ingredients
- Cooking spray, I like olive oil spray
- 4 chicken breasts, (4 ounces each) boneless, skinless
- ½ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce (for gluten-free, use Tamari sauce)
- 1 tablespoon garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or paprika
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Arrange chicken in a single layer in a shallow baking pan or bowl. In a small bowl, mix together orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Pour marinade over chicken and move around to coat well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning once, to coat. Can be marinated overnight.
- Coat a large nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the pan. Don’t throw out marinade. Cover and cook chicken on each side for about 5 minutes.
- While chicken is cooking, add marinade to a small saucepan. Simmer for about 10 minutes to cook and to thicken a bit.
- When chicken is done, remove from pan and drizzle the cooked marinade over chicken. See cooking tips below to grill or bake this chicken.
