  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup orange juice
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Zest of 1 lime
– Zest of 1 orange
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish


Instructions

Creating Citrus Ginger Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a delicious result:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, lime zest, and orange zest.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the skillet, if using.
4. Remove Chicken from Marinade: Take the chicken out of the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the marinade.
5. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks or a golden color.
6. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps retain moisture.
8. Garnish: Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

These steps ensure that your Citrus Ginger Chicken is both delicious and visually appealing.
