Honey Glazed Chicken Breast

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.

3. 3

   Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator.

4. 4

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

5. 5

   Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade.

6. 6

   If using a skillet, add a little olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. If baking, place the chicken on a lined baking tray.

7. 7

   Brush the reserved marinade over the chicken breasts.

8. 8

   Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or cook in the skillet (covered) for 10-12 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

9. 9

   Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your honey glazed chicken breast.
