Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard excess) and add olive oil to the cooking surface. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring reserved marinade (that hasn’t touched raw chicken) to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Glaze the Chicken: Drizzle the reduced glaze over each chicken breast before serving.
