Chicken Breasts with Oranges

One of the perks to living and working in Orlando is that we have amazing patients who bring us bags full of fresh, organic oranges from their back yards!  We get about a dozen oranges a week, and don't get me wrong, we love them!  I've been putting them on salads, into smoothies, sliced for a snack, etc.  But it's been a month and we're getting a little oranged out.  So I tried turning the orange into a savory meal.  This turned out as a very elegant dish for sure.  We felt like it could be served at a fancy restaurant.  And again, we were so hungry that we dove in to eating before I remembered to snap a photo.  It was very pretty tho.  I laid the reduced orange segments over the chicken breast then drizzled the sauce over top.  Delish!  We served with steamed cauliflower, perfect for soaking up the savory orange cream sauce!
