How to make it

  • Lightly oil a large frying pan and set over medium heat.

  • Pour in orange juice.
  • Sprinkle with dried basil, cumin and salt.
  • Using a wooden spoon, scrape up and stir in any brown bits from pan bottom.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.

  • Squeeze juice from lime overtop.
  • Remove chicken and place on dinner plates.
  • Increase heat to high.
  • Boil pan juices, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in fresh basil.
