Chicken breast seasoned with red chili flakes and oregano. Oh yes, don't forget the garlic! Look for the sour orange juice in the ethnic section of most supermarkets. Serve a spoonful of Coco Rice With Green Onions recipe # along side each breast.

This is probably the juiciest chicken I've ever tasted!! The flavour is really good, too - a bit of a kick but not too much. I did use fresh o.j. instead of the sour.

    Excellent recipe - We loved it! Marinated it for 11/2 hours. The recipe didn't say whether to discard the marinade or cook the chicken in it - I discarded it. Cut the recipe back to 2 breasts but left the marinade the same as the whole recipe. A do again recipe Thanks for posting it.

    Ooooh. This was a really easy and tasty dish to prepare. I couldn't find sour orange juice so I used a 50:50 mix of orange and ruby red grapefruit juice. This worked extremely well and I would encourage others to try it if the availability of sour juice is what's stopping them for trying this recipe. My chicken breasts were grilled on my George Foreman grill. Though the recipe calls for marinading one to three hours, I had one leftover breast that sat in the fridge overnight. Even better than the first batch. Will certainly be making this one again.

    Glad you submitted this as I was just about to add a similar one. My recipe had 2 additions: 1 1/2 tsp. shredded orange peel and 1 tsp. ground cumin. Just posting here for a variation. (my recipe was from a supermarket card)
