INGREDIENTS
- 3 chicken breasts or bone-in thighs
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- Unbleached parchment paper
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of ½ blood orange
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Cut the parchment paper into two pieces. Fold each into a boat shape and secure the ends with kitchen twine, as shown in the video.
- Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across each chicken breast.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and blood orange juice to make the sauce.
- Place the parchment boats on a baking sheet. Layer orange slices, lemon slices, and thyme sprigs inside each boat, then add the chicken. Generously pour the sauce over the chicken, reserving a small amount for later.
- Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Brush the reserved sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves and lemon zest before serving.
