Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Zest of 1 Florida navel orange
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
5 boneless chicken cutlets, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup fresh green beans, cooked  
3/4 cup shredded carrots  
1 cup seasoned whole wheat breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup Florida orange juice
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
Florida orange slices for garnish
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Toothpicks

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, orange zest and garlic powder in small bowl. Divide butter mixture among 5 chicken cutlets; spread each cutlet with butter mixture (butter will not cover cutlet completely) and sprinkle with black pepper. Place approximately 4 green beans horizontally on top of each cutlet and sprinkle with shredded carrots. Roll up cutlets and secure with toothpicks. Place breadcrumbs in flat dish; roll cutlets in breadcrumbs to coat.

Heat vegetable oil in oven-safe skillet over medium high heat; lightly brown cutlets on all sides. Add 1 cup orange juice and bring to a boil. Cover skillet with foil; place skillet in oven and bake for 8 minutes. Turn cutlets and cook for additional 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no pink remains. Remove skillet from oven. Remove cutlets from skillet; place on serving platter and keep warm.

Place skillet on stove over medium heat. Boil liquid for 3 minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Combine cold water and cornstarch; add to skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove toothpicks from cutlets; pour sauce over cutlets. Garnish with orange slices and cilantro.

Serving Suggestion:  Serve Orange Chicken Roll-Ups over brown rice with steamed green beans.
