Ingredients

  

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 1/3 cups orange juice divided
• 1 tablespoon Greek Seasoning recipe follows
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Pinch ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• ¾ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes drained

Method

 

1. To a large resealable plastic bag, add chicken, oil, 1/3 cup orange juice, Greek Seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic. Seal tightly, and squeeze bag all over to coat chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Heat an oiled grill pan over high heat. Remove chicken, discarding marinade. Place chicken on hot grill, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes on one side. Turn chicken, and cook until a meat thermometer registers 165°, 6 to 7 minutes more. Place chicken on a serving platter, and cover with foil to keep warm.
3. In a small saucepan, bring tomatoes and remaining 1 cup orange juice to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 2 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken. Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over top. Cook for 1 minute. Place on platter, and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
