Chicken with Orange Ginger Glaze

Another magazine (Cooking Light) find!  This recipe is awesome!  It does have honey, which I do allow in moderation.  Oh, and if you notice in the picture the almonds are actually black.  Oops - yep I burnt them.  I totally forgot they were on the stove toasting until my observant husband asked about them.  They still got eaten and tasted just fine.  :)

Chicken with Orange Ginger Glaze

2 chicken breasts, but in half lengthwise

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1/8 t. garlic powder

1 1/2 t. olive oil

1 navel orange

3 T. honey

1 t. grated peeled fresh ginger

Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder.  Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add chicken; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned.  While chicken cooks, grate rind and squeeze juice from orange to measure 1 t. rind and 1/4 c. orange juice.  Add orange rind, juice, honey, and ginger to chicken, scraping bottom of pan to loosen browned bits.  Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 7 minutes or until chicken is done and orange mixture is syrupy.
