How to Make Soy Orange Chicken Breast

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce (1/4 cup), orange juice (1/4 cup), honey (2 tablespoons), grated ginger (1 tablespoon), minced garlic (2 cloves), and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  2. Place chicken breasts (2, about 6 oz each) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet.
  6. Bring the marinade to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
