Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 0.25 cups honey
• 0.25 cups soy sauce
• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey-soy mixture over the chicken breasts in the skillet, making sure to coat them evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze thickener by mixing the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, transfer the breasts to a serving plate. Place the skillet back on the stovetop over medium heat to thicken the sauce.

Step 9

Stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the glaze has thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Drizzle the thickened honey glaze over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
