  • Remove the breasts from the pot and help yourself with some kitchen paper clean the pan from the grease.
  • Add a thread of oil, rosemary and bay leaves to the still warm pan and put the breasts back to cook starting on the side of the skin then turn the chest over. Cook for 15 minutes, add a pinch of salt.

  • Squeeze the orange and strain the juice.
