Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1/3 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 3 minced garlic cloves until well combined.
  4. Step 4: Pour the citrus honey mixture over the seared chicken in the skillet. Sprinkle 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves on top.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbling and thickened.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, spooning extra glaze from the pan over each piece.
