Ingredients:
For the Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.

Pour half of the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Pour the remaining bread batter on top and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.

Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the cinnamon sugar through the bread batter, creating a marbled effect.

Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top of the batter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Bohemian Orange Chicken

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Orange Sauce:

1/2 cup orange juice
Zest of 1 orange
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
Directions:

Marinating the Chicken:

In a bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Cooking the Chicken:

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest while preparing the sauce.

Making the Orange Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, honey, and soy sauce. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the butter until it melts and the sauce becomes glossy.

Serving the Bohemian Orange Chicken:

Slice the grilled chicken breasts into strips or cubes.

Drizzle the prepared orange sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.

Garnish with fresh orange slices or zest, if desired.

Prep Time: 10 minutes | Marinating Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 12-14 minutes | Total Time: 52-54 minutes (including marinating)
