Before you start preparing the dish, remember to collect the following ingredients:

– 1/2 cup of orange juice,
– 1/3 cup of soy sauce,
– 1 teaspoon of ground ginger,
– 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder,
– 1 teaspoon of orange zest,

After you’ve done that, here you can find instructions regarding the preparation of an orange island chicken:

1. First, you have to start from preparing the marinade. Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, onion powder and orange peel in a zipper style bag. Remember to mix everything well.
2. Follow it up with adding the chicken pieces to the marinade and refrigerating it all overnight, or for at least 8 hours.
3. After that, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the marinade. (Note: don’t get rid of the marinade) and coat it with flour. Next, heat the oil and brown the chicken over medium high heat in a big skillet. Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Oranges in a salad

Oranges in a salad are thought of primarily in terms of fruit salads. That might be surprising but they also work well in dry salads as an addition affecting the balance of flavors, adding both acidity and sweetness. We can use juice from freshly squeezed orange to an oil-based sauce with black pepper and herbs. Just pour the mixture of lettuces with this sauce and you will get a great addition to the second course. In contrast, the orange particles can be used for salads, which will serve as a separate, light meal, like a second breakfast.

Ingredients:
one orange
packet of rucola
goat, feta or blue cheese – about 200 g
walnuts or pistachios
smoked salmon – about 150 g
oil
salt and pepper to taste

The orange should be peeled and divided into parts. Rinse rucola thorougly and let it dry. Chop the nuts into fine parts. All of the types of cheese are great for this composition of flavors. Chop selected cheese into about 1cm qubes. Cut salmon according to your taste or use ready-made salmon salad parts. Mix the ingredients and then pour them with oil mixed with spices.

Enjoy your meal!
