I discovered this recipe while searching through all of my grandma's recipes. I found this recipe in her "Weight Watcher's" collection. I can't really tell how old it is, but it looks interesting. Her recipe is written for beef steaks, but I'm adapting it for chicken.
Coffee Citrus Chicken
Makes 6 servings
2 teaspoons instant coffee/espresso
2 ½ tablespoons boiling water
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon dried onions
½ tablespoon salt
½ tablespoon lemon juice
Dash ground cloves
Dash hot sauce
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
In a small bowl, dissolve coffee in water. Add orange juice, dried onions, salt, lemon juice, cloves and hot sauce. Place chicken in a plastic bag. Reserve and refrigerate 6 tablespoons of the marinade. Add the remaining marinade, press out air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours or overnight, turning at least once. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Bake the chicken until the juices run clear.
I’m planning on trying this for dinner tomorrow night. Wish me luck!
