INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Orange Juice
1 tsp Orange Zest
1 garlic clove
1 tsp Fresh Ginger
1 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup Steamed Broccoli
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the chicken breast dry and lightly scoring on both sides to allow the marinade to penetrate.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, and low sodium soy sauce. Stir well to make your citrus glaze.
Place the chicken in a shallow dish and pour over half of the glaze, reserving the rest for finishing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard any leftover marinade touching raw chicken) and sear it on both sides until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Lower the heat and add the reserved glaze to the pan. Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally to build a sticky, flavorful coating.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli until crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes, to complete the dish.
Plate the citrus-glazed chicken alongside the steamed broccoli. Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
