Chicken Appetizer in Oranges

Name: Chicken Appetizer in Oranges
Ingredients: 2 oranges; 350 g chicken meat (I used 1 small breast fillet and 1 chicken thigh); 70-150 g carrots; 10 g gelatin (1 packet); 1 clove of garlic (or 0.5 tsp garlic powder); salt; pepper

A beautiful appetizer with a unique flavor. The chicken is marinated in orange juice, then roasted, and set in orange shell cups. My kid and I loved it — my child ate 4 wedges right away and asked for more, but my husband was unmoved by the dish, though he generally doesn't like anything resembling aspic. I think if you enjoy unusual chicken dishes, and especially the combination of chicken, orange, and garlic, you're going to love this fun little appetizer.

Ingredients:

2 oranges
350 g chicken meat (I used 1 small breast fillet and 1 chicken thigh)

1 clove of garlic (or 0.5 tsp garlic powder)

How to cook chicken appetizer in oranges

Cut the oranges in half and juice them with a citrus juicer, then strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve.

Carefully remove the remaining flesh from the orange halves to create little cups.

Cut the chicken meat into small cubes and place in a bowl.

Pour in 150 ml of orange juice and let marinate for 10-20 minutes.

Add the carrots, diced. I used 1 large carrot (150 g), but I think half a carrot would have been better. Season with salt and pepper, add the garlic, and stir to combine.

Cover and place in an oven preheated to 160°C, and cook for approximately 30-50 minutes.

Dissolve the gelatin in 2-3 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 10 minutes, or for the time indicated on the package. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the chicken mixture and mix thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Let cool until just warm.

Set each orange half on a glass or cup to keep it stable. Spoon the chicken mixture into each cup.

Then pour the remaining liquid over the top. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, until the jelly is fully set.

Carefully cut each orange half into 4 wedges with a sharp knife. This bright, festive appetizer is a wonderful addition to any table and is sure to delight fans of bold, unexpected flavor combinations!
