Chicken With Oranges

Citrus fruits always remind me of winter. Growing in Israel I remember going with my dad to the orange orchard and picking oranges, putting them in my sweater and carrying them home. I love the taste, the smell, the orange blossom. I also think that citrus fruits always give any dish a sort of lightness and freshness. So I figured, why not use it on our Friday dinner?

I had some chicken thighs and really didn’t feel like spending too much time in the kitchen. I also had ½ orange in the fridge, leftovers from the kids’ school snack, and that’s how this dish was born 🙂

  • 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
