Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp soy sauce, simmering for 3-4 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the citrus-pop dressing over them, cooking for 1 more minute to glaze.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.
