INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 medium Orange
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro
1 tbsp Lime Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by prepping the citrus garlic marinade. Zest and juice the orange, then combine the zest and juice with minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Place the chicken breast in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure that the chicken is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breast and sear on each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow the chicken to simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and use two forks to gently pull the meat apart into shreds.
Stir in chopped fresh parsley and cilantro to incorporate the herbal freshness.
Adjust seasoning as needed and serve warm. This dish can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a side salad or whole grain wrap.
