Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and honey to create the glaze. 2. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides. 3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. 4. Pour the orange glaze over the chicken in the skillet and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. 5. Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it, and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top. 6. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
