Heartburn Recipe: Grilled Chicken Breasts with Honey Orange Sauce
Posted On September 17, 2022
This chicken sounds light and fruity, and it is. The sauce is almost invisible. It is pale in color and its subtle flavors are simply delicious. Although the word orange will make people apprehensive, the amount is small and, when cooked, is usually much less of a problem for people with GERD. Even without the orange, this chicken is extremely flavorful.
Chicken:
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- kosher salt to taste
- Sweet or mild paprika, to taste
- chopped fresh parsley, garnish
Dip:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
- 1 cup fat-free chicken broth
- 1/4 cup orange juice or apple cider
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, or 1 teaspoon dried
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini cut into 1/2-inch cubes
One of the most important things to remember when eating any main dish, or any food, is that portion size counts. Eating too much of even the most harmless foods can cause heartburn. Large amounts can weaken the LES, which makes it possible to ensure heartburn.
