Ingredients
-
8 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
4 tbsp butter, unsalted
4 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup orange juice
2 cups chicken broth
2 sprigs thyme
4 tbsp butter, unsalted, cut into bits
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Put 2 tbsp of the butter and 2 tbsp of olive oil into a large heavy skillet and place it over high heat for 2 minutes. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place 4 of the breasts in the pan and sear for 1 minute or until golden brown. Turn the breasts over and repeat on other side. Remove to a baking dish and repeat with 2 tbsp butter, remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and chicken breasts. Place the baking dish into the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads 170 degrees F.
Meanwhile, add orange juice, chicken broth and thyme to the hot skillet. Cook until reduced by about 3/4 (sauce should coat the back of a spoon). Right before serving, whisk in the remaining 4 tbsp butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve chicken with the sauce spooned over the top.
