Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF.
- Line a baking sheet with tin foil. Place the chicken breasts on the foil and drizzle with olive oil on both sides. Season well with salt and pepper on both sides, turning the 'pretty side' up.
Cooking
- Roast in the oven for 15 minutes.
- While the chicken is roasting, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
- After 15 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven. Use a basting brush to apply the glaze evenly over both chicken breasts.
- Return the chicken to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Once done, remove from oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve this chicken dish hot, sliced into strips or served whole. It pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. For an extra touch, drizzle some additional glaze over the top before serving. To store leftovers, let the chicken cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It can stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven when ready to enjoy. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the glaze for a few hours before cooking. If you want to add some crunch, consider sprinkling toasted nuts or seeds on top before serving. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF for safe consumption.
