Marmalade Chicken for Two
Orange marmalade and freshly grated orange zest make a deliciously tangy sauce for quick-cooking chicken tenders. Serve with brown rice.

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
-
1 tablespoon orange marmalade
-
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
-
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
-
8 ounces chicken tenders
-
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1 large shallot, minced
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
Directions
1.
Whisk broth, vinegar, marmalade, mustard and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
2.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
3.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and shallot to the pan and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 30 seconds. Whisk the broth mixture and add it to the pan. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cook until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Add the chicken; return to a simmer. Cook, turning once, until the chicken is heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in orange zest.
Tip:
Note: Chicken tenders are the virtually fat-free strips of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of chicken breasts. They can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken fingers."

Recommended Recipe:
Caramelized Bananas
The bananas have to get in and out of the pan in 1 1/2 minutes, no longer, so they stay firm in the center. If you are cooking for 4, you can easily double the recipe; it is important not to crowd the skillet, so get everything ready to go and make it in 2 batches.
