How to Make Maple And Orange Glazed Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Trim any visible fat.
  3. In a shallow dish, combine seasoned flour. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently shake off any excess flour.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add chicken to the skillet, searing for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely browned.
  6. In a measuring cup, whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, and ginger.
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  8. Add the maple-orange glaze to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  9. Return chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's evenly coated in the glaze.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
