Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Thinly slice the oranges.
Arrange half of the orange slices in an even layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the oranges and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
Spread one teaspoon of the orange-based glaze over each chicken breast.
Bake for 25–35 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer to a serving plate, garnish with remaining orange slices and fresh herbs, and serve hot.
