Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange marmalade, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked at this stage.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the marmalade mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Spoon some of the glaze from the skillet over the chicken before serving for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired, and serve warm with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or rice.
