As a Florida Citrus Grower, I try to include Florida Orange Juice in many of my recipes. The versatility of Florida Orange Juice makes my meals come alive with amazing flavor — just like this recipe, my favorite Florida Orange Herb Chicken. This hearty and easy-to-make meal is great for entertaining friends and family.
