Steps:
- Sauce: Start by making the sauce; it needs to cook a little longer than the chicken.
- Oranges: Zest one orange; you will need about 1 teaspoon zest. Juice both oranges; you will need 200 ml/ ¾ cup orange juice.
- Caramelize the icing sugar in a small saucepan. Add the orange juice and the chicken stock and stir to dissolve the sugar clumps.
- Reduce: Add the orange zest, bring everything to a boil, and reduce this liquid to half. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Sieve: Add salt, pepper, and 1 or 2 tablespoons cognac to taste (optional) and sieve the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Add butter: Pour the sauce back into the saucepan. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add the cubes to the sauce, one after another, while stirring all the time. The sauce needs to be served immediately.
- Chicken: While the sauce is cooking, prepare the chicken breasts. If you have 2 large chicken breasts, slice them diagonally to obtain 2 thinner pieces.
- Pound: Place the chicken breasts between 2 layers of plastic foil and pound them using a meat pounder. Make sure that the chicken pieces are evenly thick all over. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. You can choose other spices if you wish.
- Cook: Heat the olive oil in a large, cast iron pan. Cook the chicken, 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Do not overcook!
- Rest: Place on a warm plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes or until the sauce is ready.
- Serve immediately with the orange sauce, rice, and veggies of choice.
