Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, pure honey, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Season the skinless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour the prepared hot honey mixture over the chicken breasts in the skillet, turning the chicken breasts to ensure they are well coated.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish the hot honey chicken with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra freshness.
Enjoy your flavorful low-fat hot honey chicken with steamed vegetables or a light side salad.
