  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for searing)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare by clearing your countertop and preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and olive oil. Coat the chicken well in the marinade and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each piece of marinated chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side).
  4. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and pour the remaining marinade over it. Bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
  5. Let the chicken rest briefly before slicing. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
