Honey Tangerine Chicken

When I first made this recipe for Honey Tangerine Chicken back in 2012, I used honey tangerines. However, they are hard to find; especially when not in season. 

So I decided to update the recipe using easier to find ingredients. After all, I'm all about making quick, family friendly recipes using easy to find ingredients! Plus the original picture made this recipe unappealing. 

What is a tangerine?

A tangerine is a citrus fruit; similar to that of an orange with a deep, reddish-orange skin. They are usually smaller than oranges, have a thinner skin; which makes them easier to peel and tend to be sweeter.

A similar citrus fruit would be a clementine or "cuties"; which my kids love! 

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of orange-flavored food; however, this Honey Tangerine Chicken was deliciously mild with a slight tang.

Some other orange recipes you might like to try are  Orange Creamsicle Smoothie, Orange Thyme Grilled Pork Chops, and Clemen-Thyme Baked Chicken Cutlets.

Equipment Needed

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef Knife
  • Dutch Oven (or large pot)

Honey Tangerine Chicken over Rice on a plate

Ingredients Needed

  • extra virgin olive oil
  • all purpose flour
  • diced tangerines (peeled)

  • black pepper

You can substitute butter for extra virgin olive oil if you don't care if this recipe is dairy free.

How do you make Honey Tangerine Chicken?

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat; then add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink; approximately 5-7 minutes. 

In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, orange juice, honey, dill, salt and pepper; then whisk until smooth. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour to the chicken and stir to coat the pieces.

Next, add the liquid mixture and the diced tangerines and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken slightly. 

This chicken in a honey tangerine sauce serves four for a quick and easy weeknight family meal. Serve on top of egg noodles or rice and with your favorite vegetable.
