Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine orange marmalade, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until well blended and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour the orange marmalade sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Baste the chicken with sauce halfway through cooking for maximum flavor.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, and serve warm.
