Two Orange Chickens Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Chop the sweet potato, slicing first in 1/4" thick slices and then quartering.
• Add chicken breasts to ovensafe baking dish and surround with the sliced sweet potatoes.
• Mix the olive oil and honey. Add finely minced ginger and rosemary and stir well.
• Pour 3/4 of the mixture liberally over sweet potatoes and chicken.
• Layer bacon over, being sure to cover chicken with slices so that moisture is sealed in.
• Pour the remainder of the sauce over bacon.
• Mix water and orange juice, and pour into bottom of dish to keep chicken from drying out while baking.
• Put chicken into oven and let it bake.
• Set timer for fifteen minute increments, taking these breaks to carefully pour spoonfuls of the orange&water juice overtop the ingredients to really get the moisture and the taste inside. This will also keep your bacon from crisping too swiftly.
• Remove chicken when cooked to satisfaction. Enjoy!
• Cook's Notes: We like our chicken just a smidge browned, served with steamed broccoli, a dash of sea salt to balance the sweet, and with a bit of the base orange&water mixture drizzled over the plate to swab the meat in. If you're really feeling frisky, scoop a spoonful or two of the base juice mixture from the baking pan and add that to the water to steam your broccoli. Also, any crispy parts of the bacon can be crumbled over a side dish such as steamed broccoli for a pleasant crunch and a tie-in to the flavor of your main dish.
