Ingredients
- GLAZE:
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ lime juiced, plus lime wedges for serving
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional to thicken the sauce at the end
- CHICKEN:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- Green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- Make the Asian glaze sauce by combining soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and lime juice in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until thoroughly incorporated and set aside.

- Transfer chicken breasts to the prepared baking dish. Pour the glaze mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Baste chicken with the sauce a couple of times while it cooks.
- Thicken the sauce: Remove chicken from the oven and carefully scoop out 3 tablespoons of the sauce into a small mixing bowl. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until fully combined.
- Pour the cornstarch slurry into the baking dish and whisk it into the sauce.
- Place the chicken back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken and serve garnished with lime wedges and green onions.
