Ingredients

    Thin Chicken Breast, no skin, trimmed, 1 lb
    Light Olive Oil, 1 Tbsp
    Flour, white, 1/4 cup
    Salt, 1/2 tsp
    Orange Juice, 1 cup
    Ginger Root, 1 tsp
    Garlic, 1 tsp
    Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, 1 heaping Tbsp
    Scallions, raw, 2 tbsp chopped
    Sliced Orange for garnish (Optional)

Directions

Rinse and trim chicken cutlets, cut in half. (Pound thin under plastic wrap if using normal chicken cutlets). Sprinkle salt on cutlets and lightly dip each in flour. Over med-high heat, heat olive oil in skillet. Add chicken when hot, cooking until juices run clear, about 4-5 mins per side. Place chicken on a plate, cover to keep warm. Reduce heat to medium and add juice, ginger, garlic, mustard, and scallions. Stir to combine, scraping bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce by about half, 5-10 mins. Adjust seasonings if desired. Add chicken back to pan and coat in sauce. Garnish with fresh orange slices and/or orange zest, if desired, and serve immediately.
