Creamy Orange Chicken



It took really long for this particular recipe to sit safely in my draft ,actually forgot to publish. How forgetful i can be. While scrolling the blog i bump into this wonderful recipe in my draft and here i am sharing it with you almost after 7 months.

I love this dish simply because of the crispy skin which pair perfectly with rich and creamy broth. The slightly burnt skin enhance the flavor of the dish and the chicken are juicy enough to every bite. I used chicken thighs you may opt for chicken breast to prepare this delicious chicken recipe. The tanginess from the orange juice and orange slices works well to balance the creaminess of the broth. The girls enjoyed the dish by dipping the broth with bread chunks. I serve this awesome chicken dish with tapioca mash and bread to complete our weekend dinner.
