Servings: 4

Ingredients

Chicken breasts (4, boneless and skinless)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Fresh ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Soy sauce (1/4 cup)
Honey (1/3 cup)
Fresh orange juice (1/2 cup)
Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. This will serve as your flavorful glaze.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the orange and honey glaze over the chicken breasts in the skillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C) and the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot, drizzled with any remaining glaze.
