Chicken breast with oranges.

Ingredients:

4 oranges

4 spoonfuls of butter

½ teaspoon of sugar

4 tablespoons of oil

A pinch of salt

Freshly ground black pepper

 

Wash the meat and cut into fine fillets about 1,5cm thick. Slightly flatten them with hand and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You need to pour boiling water over the oranges and wash them thoroughly. Peel the oranges in such a way not to cut the white layer under the skin. Cut the skin into very thin strips. Squeeze the juice out of two oranges. The other two peel  and cut into nice pieces.

Heat olive oil and a tablespoon of butter on a frying pan and fry the fillets over high temperature. Pour the juice to second pan, cook for a while, add sugar, salt and pepper, orange peel  and fry for 2-3 over high temperature. After this time add three tablespoons of butter to the sauce mixing all the time. The meat should be ready by now. Put those on plates, pour with sauce and decorate with pieces of oranges. Serve with potatoes or wild rice.
