Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients (except chicken, cornstarch and water) to create the marinade.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the bowl and cover with the marinade.
-
Pierce the chicken with a fork multiple times to allow marinade to soak in.
-
Cover and refrigerate for 1–4 hours.
-
Place marinated chicken on an oiled baking sheet and bake for 22–24 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F.
-
You can use the remaining marinade to make a sauce to top the finished chicken! Just place the remaining marinade in a sauté pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. In a separate bowl whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water. Slowly add mixture into boiling marinade, stirring constantly until it reaches your desired thickness.
