Fresh Citrus Chicken
Must try 25 minute Chicken dinner recipe ! This Fresh Citrus Chicken is bursting with flavor and loved by everyone from all ages !
Fresh Citrus Chicken is such a delightful chicken dinner, bursting with citrus flavor. Not to mention the health benefits of the added fresh Citrus !
This is another quick and easy recipe. Only a hint of spiciness from the Garlic and Ginger paste, just enough to enhance all the ingredients’ flavors.
The rice actually took longer than the dish itself, and I cook my rice in a rice-cooker which is very quick !
Oranges, and most all other citrus fruits, are high on our list when I do the weekly fresh fruit and vegetable shopping.
We have an awesome market store close to us and they have just about everything a cook needs. With some convenience foods, as in already prepped vegetables, soup mixes and much more, it is no wonder we love shopping there.
The freshly squeezed Lemon juice and the Orange segments work so well with the Chicken, even my kids love this dish, as they did since they were little.
If need be, the recipe can easily be doubled, tripled or more if you have a crowd to feed !

This looks really good and I just saw ginger paste in our store for the first time last week! Thanks for sharing it!
Pinning this, I'm always on the lookout for lemon recipes! My rice cooker started making glut guy ice and I switched to using my pressure cooker, it's really quick. So if you ever have to replace it I recommend getting one.
