Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 4

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Reserve the leftover marinade for glazing.

Step 5

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

While the chicken is baking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened into a glaze. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once the chicken is done, spoon the glaze over the cooked chicken breasts evenly.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
