Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.33 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 4 cups Cooked white rice
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ketchup, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and ground ginger to prepare the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable freezer bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, making sure all the chicken is coated, and remove as much air as possible. Lay it flat and freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate for at least 2 hours if cooking the same day.
When ready to cook, thaw the chicken in the refrigerator overnight if frozen.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the chicken and marinade to a baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through cooking.
While the chicken is baking, prepare a cornstarch slurry by whisking together the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the baking dish and transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil on medium heat and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
Serve the chicken over cooked white rice. Drizzle the thickened sauce on top and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.
