 Navel Orange Glazed Chicken:

Ingredients:

    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    2 navel oranges
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/4 cup honey
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

    Start by preparing the marinade. Zest both navel oranges and set aside the zest.
    Squeeze the juice from the oranges into a bowl.

    In a separate bowl, combine the orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce,
    grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk well to combine.

    Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them,
    reserving a small amount for basting. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the
    refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and
    lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken
    until done.
