Caramel Chicken

"embarassed to say I got this from the back of a soup packet, but it is very good. I usually just make a bacon roll and secure that with a toothpick and fry the rolls in a little olive oil til browned. Then take them out and do the chicken in the oil, remove the toothpick and add to the casserole, looks classy :) have to admit that I am way to lazy to do the orange thing :)"

  1. Delicious! This is probably one of those recipes that I'd ignore if I saw on the back of a soup pack but it was great and the sauce went perfectly with rice. I made all as directed using the orange zest / juice other than I browned the chicken in butter rather than margarine.
     
  2. What a great recipe mummamills. We really enjoyed this tasty dish. It was quick and easy to make with terriffic results. The chicken was tender while the sauce was out of this world. I really liked the orange juice and zest in this dish. It was wonderful served over Saffron Rice. Thank you so much for sharing a recipe that I will make again and again. <br/><br/>P.S. I forgot to mention that I used chicken thighs and tomato soup in a can, because I couldn't find any tomota soup packets....so good, they both worked really well in this dish.
     
  3. Very satisfying. I did have chicken breasts on hand, but other than that made as posted. Might cut down on the water next time, but I definately will make again. Great tasting sauce too. Made for Recipe Swap #50..
     
  4. Made this for Think Pink October 2009. DH was totally thrilled by the taste. As I never have instant tomato soup on hand, I used the mix of pureed tomato and spices which I make tomato soup of, cut down the water to 1/2 cup and added orange zest, juice and a dash of cointreau for a more grown up version :D Very good, quick recipe which I'll surely make again for caramel loving DH... Thanks for posting!
     
  5. Made for the Sep Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap, this is a very tasty easy-fix. I used lrg chicken breasts sliced into medallions, added black pepper + garlic & otherwise made as written. The meat was fork-tender, well-flavored & perfectly done in the time stated. There was plenty of the lovely sauce that was almost like a mellow sweet-sour sauce. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. *Edited to Add* Forgot to say I browned the chicken well & used the same pan to make the sauce. This added a wonderful depth of flavor to the sauce. :-)
