  3. Cut the juicy chicken breasts into cubes and season with pepper and salt to taste. Brown them in a frying pan with a little oil for 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Add the casserole with the irresistible sauce and cook the chicken for 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat.

Arrange the orange slices on plates, top with the succulent chicken pieces and garnish with the washed fresh thyme. Enjoy this exquisite recipe that will delight your palate with its irresistible combination of flavors!
