Servings: 6
- 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- 1 tsp 5 spices
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Preheat the oven to 375F.
Rub your chicken breast with salt, pepper, and 5 spices and cover with the cornstarch.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, then transfer to a baking dish.
While the chicken sears in the pan, make the honey-sriracha sauce. In a small bowl, whisk the sriracha sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic.
Pour this sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
Carefully place in the preheated oven and bake for around 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165F.
Garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
- You may use boneless and skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts
- 5 spices: Five-spice powder is typically made from a mixture of five different spices: cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns.
- You may bake covered or uncovered. If you decide to bake it covered, uncover it last 10 minutes so the liquid that comes out evaporates a bit
