  • 2  tablespoons  red-wine vinegarOn Sale
  • 2  tablespoons  orange marmaladeOn Sale
  • 1  teaspoon  Dijon mustardOn Sale
  • 1  teaspoon  cornstarchOn Sale
  • 1  pound  chicken tenders, (see Note)On Sale
  • 1/2  teaspoon  kosher saltOn Sale
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground pepperOn Sale
  • 6  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil, dividedOn Sale
  • 2    large shallots, mincedOn Sale
  • 1  teaspoon  freshly grated orange zestOn Sale

Directions
1.
Whisk broth, vinegar, marmalade, mustard and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
2.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 4 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 2 teaspoons oil and shallots 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."

Here's an easy main dish that's sure to set you on your own quest for the best syrup. Start the chicken breasts marinating on a Saturday afternoon for a quick meal later in the day, just about the time you come in from raking the last of the winter leaves off the garden.
