Ingredients for Asian Citrus Roasted Chicken And Veggies

  • Chicken Breast Halves
  • 2 cups water
  • Baby Carrots
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • Orange Marmalade
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Asian Citrus Roasted Chicken And Veggies

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place the whole chicken (approximately 3-4 lbs) in a large roasting pan.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange marmalade, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup sliced mushrooms.
  4. Brush half of the marmalade mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Roast the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 25 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  7. Add 1 cup of sliced carrots and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain the carrots.
  8. Add the cooked carrots and 1 cup of snap peas to the roasting pan with the chicken.
  9. Brush the chicken and vegetables with the remaining marmalade mixture.
  10. Continue roasting for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and the juices run clear.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
