Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
