Follow The Directions

01

Step
24 hrs

Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a glass or ceramic bowl. Juice two blood oranges over the chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare Chicken: Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Season with salt and pepper. Discard the remaining marinade.

03

Step
8 mins

Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

04

Step
5 mins

Sauté Aromatics: Melt butter in a clean skillet over medium heat. Add minced onion and chopped garlic; cook and stir until onion is translucent and garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Simmer Chicken: Return chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 7 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to serving plates.

07

Step
2 mins

Finish Sauce: Add honey to the pan juices and simmer until dissolved and the sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Spoon sauce generously over the chicken.

08

Step

Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the citrusy delight!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
