Ingredients
2 boneless chicken breasts (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
1 orange, juiced and zested
1 lemon, juiced and zested
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
Directions
Marinate the Protein: In a bowl, mix the orange juice, lemon juice, zest, olive oil, honey, garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken (or tofu) and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook to Perfection: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated protein and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Alternatively, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Glaze and Serve: Pour the remaining marinade over the protein in the last few minutes of cooking for a rich, caramelized finish.
Enjoy: Serve warm with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a light salad.
