Citrus-Sage Chicken
"A family favorite. I always use chicken breasts instead of a whole chicken, 4-6 of them is about right. The recipe calls for 2 oranges, but I usually only need one."

Delicious! DH commented on it twice as we ate. And so easy to make (it only took one lemon and 1 orange to get the correct amounts of zest and juice). Despite the warning about mushy chicken I think I'd marinate it longer next time. My new, young sage plant wasn't quite ready to give up 1/4 cup of leaves yet so I subbed in about 1/3 of the amount in pineapple sage -- the flavor blended into the citrus perfectly.
