A delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining the tangy flavors of orange and ginger with a savory soy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even cooking.
Lightly coat the chicken breasts with the flour.
Shake off any excess flour to avoid clumping.
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a nice crust to the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, orange juice, and mustard.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or saltiness as needed.
Place the seared chicken in a baking dish and pour the sauce over it.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce for consistent flavor.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the dish hot with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
