Blood Orange Chicken Paillards

I love the flavor of this...I am loving the different oranges out this time of year...it is fun to try the different ones...these are two of my favorites...Blood Orange is great, but the color is also beautiful, the orange gets its ruby color from cold nights...Cara Cara is sweet and low in acid...it has only been carried in US market since 1980...
