Blood Orange Chicken Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Breast Recipes. (Blood Orange Chicken Recipe). I am so in love with blood oranges! And I set out to create a dish that highlighted their deep citrus flavor and absolutely beautiful coloring! However, this dish can be made with navel oranges as well, if blood oranges are out of season. Pairs really well with some fresh steamed vegetables for a healthy dinner!
