Steps

  1. In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, honey, orange zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.

  3. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, brushing with the orange glaze halfway through.
  4. While the chicken cooks, prepare the salsa by combining red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, cumin, and diced avocado in a bowl.
  5. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
