Pheasant Breast with Orange Sauce:

2 packages MacFarlane Split Boneless Pheasant Breast
1 Cup Chopped Shallots
1 32oz box Low Sodium Chicken Broth
3 c
ups orange juice
8 Earl Grey tea bags
2 Tablespoons honey
10 Tablespoons butter (divided)
Salt and pepper

3 oranges

Serves 8


For the sauce:

In a Dutch Oven or large saucepan, sauté the shallots in 2T of butter for about 4 minutes.

Add chicken broth and orange juice and bring to a boil.

Tie the tea bags together and hang them over the side of the pan into the boiling liquids.

Boil until reduced to about 2 cups. This will take about 20 minutes or more.

Remove the tea bags. Strain out the shallots if you prefer a smoother sauce and add honey.

You can make the sauce ahead and reheat.

Add 6 Tablespoons of butter gradually to the heated sauce and season with salt and pepper before using.


For the pheasant:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Slice oranges into 8 thick slices and place the slices in a shallow roasting pan.

Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet (iron skillet is best) and brown the breasts, skin side down, for about 5 minutes.

Place browned pheasant onto orange slices and roast for about 10 minutes.

Check for doneness and roast 2-3 minutes more if necessary.

Serve pheasant on the orange slices, drizzling sauce over it, and serving extra sauce separately.
