Shock Top Braised Citrus Chicken
Serves 4, from Shock Top Beer
4 Chicken Breast Halves, boneless, skinless
1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
1 tbsp. Orange Juice
1 cup Shock Top Belgian White
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Butter
½ tsp. Minced Garlic
1 tsp. Shallots, minced
¼ tsp. Ground Ginger
4 oz. Shock Top Belgian White
Salt
1 cup Whipping Cream
½ tsp. Grated Orange Peel
Pound the chicken breasts to ¼ inch thickness. In a shallow container, stir together the lemon juice, orange juice and 1 cup of Shock Top. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning chicken over after 30 minutes. Make sure both sides are marinated.
In a large nonstick skillet on medium heat, add the olive oil. Remove chicken from the marinade, shake off the excess and lay in skillet. Discard the marinade. Cook the chicken about 2-3 minutes on both sides and remove. In the same skillet, add the butter, garlic and shallots, cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the 4 oz. of Shock Top, ginger, salt to taste and cook about 2-3 minutes more. Add the whipping cream and orange peel, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook and stir for 3-4 minutes, stirring throughout. Turn heat to low, return the chicken to the pan and simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the juices run clear, turning the chicken and stirring while simmering.
