4 Step Chicken

This recipe is based off of a similar recipe by Food network chef, Melissa D'Arabian. She has what she calls her 4 step chicken. It's very flexible, you can use different ingredients or even different meat.

Step One- Dredge in Flour.
 Cut the chicken breasts in half  to make them thinner. I used a mixture of rice flour and tapioca flour for this recipe. Season flour with your choice of seasonings. Today, I used thyme and orange zest. Then dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess.Cook in a frying pan until chicken is no longer pink.

Step Two- Add Aromatics
Remove the chicken and add your choice of onion. Today I used yellow onion and orange zest. You could also add bell pepper or anything else you can saute. Cook until aromatic

Step Three- Add liquids
Turn the heat to high and add liquids. I used white wine, orange juice, and chicken broth. Cook until slightly reduced.

Step Four- Finish the Sauce
Add a tablespoon of butter to finish. Serve with rice.


The best chicken ever


The chicken was really good. I could really taste the orange.
