This Chicken with Orange Cream Sauce recipe is topped with fresh orange slices. Easy, elegant, and ready in 30 minutes!
Ready in 30 minutes, this dish is quick and easy to prepare, looks elegant and tastes delicious! If you like oranges, this is the dish for you! This dish gets a triple dose of orange with fresh orange slices, orange juice, and orange zest. The chicken breasts are infused with fresh orange juice and then cream and wine are added. And as you already know, orange and cream are a match made in heaven. Choose oranges that are sweet and flavorful. When zesting the oranges, be sure to avoid the white pith – it’s bitter. As a serving recommendation, this chicken pairs nicely with a leafy green salad tossed with vinaigrette and some herbed rice.
Chicken With Orange Cream Sauce Recipe
Let’s get started! Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat (I’m using a small one here to cook just two breasts). Season both sides of the chicken with some salt. Fry the chicken on both sides for 3-4 minutes until browned.
Add the orange slices (not pictured) and fry on both sides for 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Add the orange juice, orange zest, salt and white pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Luscious orange-infused chicken breasts! Transfer the chicken to a warmed plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Add the heavy cream and wine and bring to a boil. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
Arrange chicken and sliced oranges on a serving platter and pour the sauce over. Serve immediately.
