Serves 4
Ready in 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 skinless chicken breast fillets
- 1tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
- 1tbsp chopped chives
- juice of 2 oranges
- finely grated zest of 1 orange
- Asda Extra Special Chantennay Carrots, green beans and new potatoes
- 1tbsp orange marmalade
- 2tsp arrowroot or cornflour
Method
1 Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces. Put in a non-metallic dish with the herbs and orange juice and zest. Season with black pepper and turn so that all the meat is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2 Heat a steamer until simmering. Remove the chicken, reserving the marinade, and put in the steamer for 25 to 30 minutes. Steam the veg at the same time.
3 Measure the marinade and top up with water if necessary to make 250ml. Heat in a small pan with the marmalade and simmer for 5 minutes. Mix the flour with a little cold water to make a paste, stir into the marinade mix and return to the boil until thickened. Pour over the chicken to serve. Note: if you don’t have a steamer, cook the chicken in an ovenproof dish with 6 tablespoons water at 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 for 20 to 25 minutes, and simmer the veg for 10 minutes
