Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breast fillets

1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped

2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped

1 tbsp chives, chopped

2 oranges, juice of

1 orange, zest of

Asda Extra Special Chantennay Carrots, to serve

Green beans, to serve

New potatoes, to serve

1 tbsp orange marmalade

2 tsp arrowroot (or cornflour)

Method

1
Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces. Put in a non-metallic dish with the herbs and orange juice and zest. Season with black pepper and turn so that all the meat is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2
Heat a steamer until simmering. Remove the chicken, reserving the marinade, and put in the steamer for 25 to 30 minutes. Steam the veg at the same time.
3
Measure the marinade and top up with water if necessary to make 250ml. Heat in a small pan with the marmalade and simmer for 5 minutes. Mix the flour with a little cold water to make a paste, stir into the marinade mix and return to the boil until thickened. Pour over the chicken to serve. Note: if you don’t have a steamer, cook the chicken in an ovenproof dish with 6 tablespoons water at 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 for 20 to 25 minutes, and simmer the veg for 10 minutes.
