2) Heat a large frying pan with the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3) Sautรฉ the chicken breasts in the oil for about 8- 10 minutes turning once until golden.
4) Add the stock, jam, zest and orange juice. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and boil the sauce hard to reduce to a syrupy consistency.
5) Return the chicken to the frying pan and mix the sticky reduced sauce over the chicken. Leave on a low light covered until ready to serve.
To serve the stylish way: Place a generous helping of mashed potato on a plate, top with the chicken and coat with the sticky marmalade gravy.
