Brandy and Orange Chicken

Submitted by: JustRightMenus

Description:

The original recipe is for the chicken with stuffed shrimp. I have made it this way a few times, because my sweet husband loves shrimp. However, I have now learned that he does not like stuffed shrimp very much. Ah, well. The chicken is great!

Directions

Season chicken breasts with poultry sesoning or ground thyme, salt and pepper. 

Spray a nonstick skillet w/ nonstick and cook breasts 5 minutes on each side, then remove to somewhere warm (I use a glass dish in a 100° oven).

Place chicken on dinner plates, pour sauce over each, and garnish w/ parsley and oranges.
