Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pomegranate juice, orange juice, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add chicken breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  • Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
  • Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and allow excess liquid to drip off. Discard any leftover marinade.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet or grill and place chicken breasts in. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • In a small saucepan, boil the reserved marinade that hasn’t touched raw chicken, then reduce to a simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
  • Drizzle the thickened glaze over each chicken breast.
  • Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds, orange slices, and chopped parsley.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor infusion. Use a meat thermometer to ensure safety.
