- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook gently for 5–6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Grate the zest from one of the oranges and squeeze the juice from both (there should be 1 1/2 tsp zest and 150ml juice). Add the shallots to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes until light golden. Stir in the orange juice and zest, lemon juice, marmalade and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
- Mix the cornflour with 1 tbsp cold water to make a smooth paste. Add to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute, stirring, until slightly thickened.
- Slice the chicken on the diagonal and serve with the sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with sprigs of fresh rosemary.
