- Juice of 1 large orange
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 4 about 2 pounds chicken breasts
Combine orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, herbs, salt and pepper in a shallow baking dish. Place chicken breasts in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for several hour or overnight. Turn halfway through for even marinating.
To cook - preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts on the lined baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until juices run clear and the internal temperature is 160 degrees F. Remove from pan and let stand for a few minutes to allow the juices to be reabsorbed. Thinly slice and serve.
