Grilled Orange Chicken With Chunky Ginger Plum Sauce

Take advantage of in-season citrus with this flavourful meal.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 boneless skin-on chicken breasts, 10-12 oz each
1/4 cup finely minced orange zest
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium red onion, diced
3 ripe plums, pitted and quartered
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1lemon, juiced
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium.
  2. Rub chicken breasts with some oil, sprinkle with orange zest and generously with salt and pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Place chicken on grill, skin-side down, and cook, turning once, until opaque throughout, about 7 minutes per side.
  3. In a large sauté pan heat oil over medium-heat until hot but not smoking. Add onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Add plums and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, another 3 minutes, or until plums are tender but not mushy. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and parsley, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve chicken hot with a spoonful of plum sauce on each piece.

I would really appreciate a calorie, fat etc breakdown after your receipes. Would be really helpful for me and I'm sure others who are trying to watch calories. Your receipes seem to be pretty good and have simple ingredients and I appreciate that.
