Citrus Glazed Chicken with Orange Salsa

This vibrant dish features succulent chicken breast glazed with a sweet and tangy orange sauce, accompanied by a refreshing orange salsa. It's a delightful way to bring a burst of citrus flavor to your dinner table.

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a small bowl, mix the orange zest, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create the glaze. 3. Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour half of the orange glaze over it, ensuring it is well coated. 4. Bake the chicken in the oven for 25 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze halfway through. 5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the orange salsa by combining diced avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Add the remaining orange sections from the zested orange, if desired. 6. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. 7. Serve the sliced chicken topped with the refreshing orange salsa.
