Sautéed Chicken Breasts with Bitter Orange Sauce

Here, orange marmalade is the base for a simple glaze-like sauce. It offers its sweet, yet pleasingly bitter, orange flavor and adds texture and body. Oranges are layered into the dish in a few other guises—sweet segments and juice, fiery liqueur and aromatic zest—with each element contributing to the heady citrus essence.
