Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp soy sauce, stirring to combine. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them, cooking for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions before serving.
