Method

Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, mixed herbs and chilli flakes.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat; add chicken and sear 5‑6 min each side until golden.
Meanwhile, zest the orange, then juice it; mince garlic.
When chicken is nearly done, add garlic, orange zest and juice to the pan, reduce heat and let the sauce thicken, checking that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75 °C.
Serve the chicken sliced, drizzled with the orange‑garlic glaze and a sprinkle of extra zest.

If the glaze threatens to scorch, splash a splash of water – it’ll keep the flavor bright without burning.

Pairs beautifully with Watch a classic caper‑themed spy movie while plating.
