Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, chicken broth, honey, and fresh rosemary sprigs. Simmer for 2 minutes, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10
Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the orange-rosemary sauce, alongside your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or rice.
