Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
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.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and transfer them to the prepared baking dish. Reserve the leftover marinade for glazing.
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.
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.
Once the chicken is done, spoon the glaze over the cooked chicken breasts evenly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
