Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and ground ginger together.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish, and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later. Place the chicken in a baking dish, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Glaze the Chicken: In a small saucepan, heat the reserved marinade over medium heat, bringing it to a boil. Allow it to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Serve: Drizzle the thickened glaze over the chicken, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
