Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sauté for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F; remove chicken and set aside.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium; add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp red chili flakes, stirring constantly, and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over it, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 6: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
