Orange chickpea caramel glazed chicken breasts - a flavorful and tantalizing dish.
Ingredients:
  • 45g (1/4 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • 40.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • 1 x 7cm cinnamon stick (see note)
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) chicken style liquid stock
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) fresh orange juice
  • 2 x 250g single chicken breast fillets
  • Olive oil spray
  • 200g green beans, trimmed
  • 2 navel oranges, peeled, white pith removed, cut into segments
  • 1 x 400g can salt-reduced chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 1 bunch rocket, trimmed
Instructions:
  • Combine sugar, vinegar, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes until the syrup thickens. Stir in stock and orange juice, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for 3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  • Take the chicken breast and slice it into 4 thin pieces horizontally. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Cook half of the chicken for 2 minutes on each side until done. Place on a plate and cover with foil. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken, making sure to reheat the pan between batches.
  • Blanch beans in boiling water until vibrant green and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Shock in cold water, drain, then mix with orange, chickpeas, and rocket in a large bowl.
  • Plate the salad and chicken in individual bowls. Finish by generously drizzling the dressing over the top before serving.
