Herbed chicken with orange

Ingredients

• 500 gm boneless skinless chicken thighs
  
• 6 oranges, peeled and seeded, coarsely chopped (or 2-3 cups fresh squeezed orange juice)
  
• 1 onion, chopped
  
• 2-3chili peppers
  
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  
• 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

• 1 Tbsp fresh marjoram leaves (or oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried of either)
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
  
• Chopped fresh parsley and orange slices for garnish
  

Method

• In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped oranges, onion, chili peppers, garlic, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and salt. Pulse a few times to make a coarse purée.
  
• Put boneless chicken thighs between two sheets of wax paper and pound with a meat hammer until an even thickness of about 1/2-inch. Combine the chicken pieces and the orange marinade together either in a bowl or in a ziplock freezer bag. Refrigerate overnight.
  
• Heat olive oil in a large cast iron pan on medium high heat. Remove chicken pieces from the marinade, wiping off excess (but not all) marinade. Working in batches, cook the chicken pieces for 5 minutes on each side.
