Chicken Naranja Recipes

Steps:

• If freezing, place the chicken, ginger and celery in a labeled 1 gallon freezer bag. Mix the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl and pour over ingredients.
• If frozen,thaw the ingredients in the fridge over night. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake uncovered for an hour.
• Cook rice according to package directions. Serve chicken over cooked rice.

Steps:

• Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, deep frying pan with a heavy bottom.
• Fry chicken breasts, turning so that they brown on both sides.
• Remove from pan and set aside.
• Dice the carrots and onions or place in a food processor to dice. Put vegetables in the frying pan and brown.
• Add the juices and the white wine.
• Reduce the sauce a bit by simmering for a few minutes.
• Pour the Sauce into a food processor or blender and puree.
• Return the sauce to the frying pan.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Note: If you prefer a "chunky" sauce, you do not have to puree.
• Return the chicken to the frying pan of sauce.
• Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Place chicken on plates, spooning sauce over each piece.
• Garnish with orange slices. Serve with rice and bread.

Steps:

• In a skillet, brown chicken breasts in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook till juices run clear.
• Add orange juice to the pan. When juice just begins to bubble around the edges of the pan, add corn starch dissolved in hot water. Mix ginger and honey together in a cup, and add to orange juice. Cook until sauce is thick and slightly browned. Serve.

Steps:

• Set crock pot to high.
• Add orange juice, garlic, pepper, cumin, cayenne, jalapeno and salt to blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Place chicken pieces in crock pot and pour orange juice mixture over chicken. Top with onions and potatoes.
• Cook for 6 hours on high. Internal chicken temperature should reach 160 before serving, and the meat should fall off the bone.
• Great served over rice!

Steps:

• In a small skillet, toast the coriander and cumin seeds over medium heat, shaking the pan, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Let cool, then grind in a spice grinder until pulverized.
• Add to a large bowl along with all other marinade ingredients (everything but the chicken). Add 1 cup water and whisk to combine. Alternatively, working in two batches, place all marinade ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 2 or 3 times to combine.
• Place chicken in a large container big enough for all pieces plus marinade. Reserve 3/4 cup marinade for later use, and pour remaining marinade over the chicken. Refrigerate 1 or 2 days (chicken can be stored for up to 5 days).
• Prepare the pickled bananas: Add all ingredients except for the bananas to a nonreactive saucepan and boil over high, 10 minutes. Chill completely. Once brine is chilled, peel and slice the bananas on the bias. Add to the brine and chill, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• Heat grill to medium-low. Remove chicken from marinade and temper at room temperature for 15 minutes. Place chicken on the grill, skin-side down. Every minute or so, rotate the chicken a half turn so that the skin develops a deep, dark mahogany char and has been slightly crisped and rendered, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• Turn chicken over to finish cooking, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, skin side up. Brush the reserved marinade on the skin side. Remove bananas from brine and serve with jerk chicken.
