Ingredients
- 1/2 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon(s) red-wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon(s) orange marmalade
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) cornstarch
- 1/2 pound(s) chicken tenders (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1/4 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
- 3 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large shallots, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly grated orange zest
Directions
-
Whisk broth, vinegar, marmalade, mustard, and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
-
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.
-
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.
