Chicken Cooked in Fresh Orange Juice with Creamy Cheese Sauce

I have cooked this chicken using fresh oranges as they are extremely cheap, sweet and juicy at the moment. If you want to save time, you could use a commercial orange juice, however I prefer squeezing my own and knowing there are no sweeteners or chemicals in it.

I have then added a creamy, cheese sauce to add on the top of each plate, and used boiled potatoes to mash in with these two rich sauces.

I have served it with a red cabbage salad complimented by a Wasabi mayonnaise and I also let the gravy sink into the salad.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
