Nice flavors, good technique for plump and moist chicken breasts. Note, however, that it is not a marinade as the description says, but rather is a seasoned juice for the chicken to cook in. I will be trying this with other cuts of the chicken as well.
I used chicken breast but split them in half and cooked them first before adding the rest of the ingredients. Very tasty dish and filled me up.
Can only eat breast
If I prefer to use chicken breast, how long to I cook chicken ?
Are these boneless or bone in thighs? Wish recipes had a little more info. Like how juice from one orange.
