Ingredients

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: Whisk together pomegranate juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to overnight).
Cook the Chicken: Heat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and cook in olive oil for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring reserved marinade (not touching raw chicken) to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
Glaze the Chicken: Drizzle reduced glaze over cooked chicken.
Serve: Transfer glazed chicken to a platter, garnish with pomegranate seeds, orange slices, and parsley. Serve immediately.
