1 chicken breast size, skin on
1 apple - peeled, cored and cut into triangles
4 oranges - peeled, cored and cut into triangles
3 oranges, peeled, and sliced
1 cup shortening
2 cups white sugar
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lightly grease a sheet pan. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Press the triangles of the chicken into the pie hole. Fill the hole with the orange slices.
Place the apple pieces inside the pumpkin on top of the pie; place the sliced orange pieces on top.
Place and build the crumb crust around the chicken. Finally, press the orange seeds in between the apples. Cut ridges into the pie to build perimeter. Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the pies. Cover skins with foil sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 55 minutes.
I've made this twice, the only change I'd say is to brown the chicken pieces in the olive oil before putting them in the recipe. I cooked mine in a bit of butter, olive oil, and canola oil before dumping them in the oven. Had no issues with the chicken sticking and everything cooked just right. Definetely a keeper!
This is such a delicious, healthy alternative to summer chicken dishes. I usually use breast and thigh meat, but this time I used both fillets and came up with something wonderful - a creamy chicken soup with added fresh strawberries. I chose not to add the eggs, I put the soup and the eggs in my own take on the recipe, which was excellent. I will make this in the future and won't leave out the eggs! The sauce is also a great way to use up extra vegetables, especially the fresh tomatoes. Try substituting one teaspoon vanilla or one teaspoon chocolate ice cubes for the eggs, and you will be rewarded with a delicious addition.
