Description

A flavorful and simple baked chicken dish with a sweet and savory Asian-inspired marinade.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
  2. Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring theyโ€™re well-coated.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the centerโ€”use a meat thermometer to check for a safe internal temperature of 165ยฐF (74ยฐC).
  5. Baste the chicken with the marinade about halfway through the cooking time for added flavor.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
  7. Serve garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for at least one hour or overnight. Ensure even thickness of chicken breasts for uniform cooking.
