Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup pure honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- 2. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until well blended.
- 3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken, seal or cover, and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- 4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the marinated chicken breasts in your baking dish and pour any remaining marinade over them. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- 5. Glaze It Up: Five minutes before cooking is complete, switch your oven to broil mode for a caramelized finish.
- 6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the chicken to plates and drizzle with extra sauce from the pan. Pair it with steamed rice or vegetables.
