FLORIDA KEYS-STYLE CITRUS CHICKEN
My family loves citrus with chicken and this recipe not only uses the juice and zest of oranges, but lemons and limes as well. Chicken breast halves are browned in olive oil and butter, simmered in a citrus juice flavored with honey, fresh thyme, garlic, and ground ginger, and then topped with orange segments and chopped chives. The taste and aroma of this Florida Keys inspired citrus chicken dish will explode in mouth-watering delight. This flavorful citrus sauce works equally well with fish or pork.

Steps:
- Thoroughly wash the chicken; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Whisk together the citrus juice (marinade) ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Pour a 1/4 cup of this mixture into a large resealable plastic bag, and reserve the remaining. Add the chicken to the bag, seal and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours. Turn occasionally.
- Meanwhile, peel the orange; cut in half lengthwise then cut crosswise into slices. Set the segments aside.
- To a hot heavy-bottom skillet, add the olive oil followed by the butter. (NOTE: The butter should foam, but not turn brown.) Add diced onions to the skillet to sweat. When softened, add the chicken. (NOTE: Discard the citrus juice in the resealable bag.) Cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is tender and no longer pink.
- Deglaze the skillet with wine. Pour the reserved citrus juice mixture over the chicken, and top with the orange slices. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.
- To serve, divide the chicken into 4 servings; spoon drippings from the skillet over the chicken and top with the chopped chives. If desired, served with cooked rice and garnish with lemon and lime wedges.

CITRUS CHICKEN
This take on the humble chicken breast yields a dish that is at once crisp and moist, tangy and sweet. You can use bone-in chicken breasts, but you'll need to adjust your cooking time by a few minutes.

Steps:
- Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Add olive oil and butter to the skillet and swirl it around.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Put flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides in the pan, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
- Add the breasts to the skillet and cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Chicken should be constantly sizzling but not burning.) Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Cut the orange in half. Section one of the halves as you would a grapefruit, removing any seeds. Juice the remaining orange half and one lime.
- With the heat still on medium-high, add the orange juice, lime juice and sugar to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the orange sections to the skillet and turn heat to low, stirring, until mixture is slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turn it in the sauce, then serve, seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the remaining lime into wedges for garnish.
