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.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried basil.
  • 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.

Notes

Chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165˚F on an instant-read thermometer.
