Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken Breast
This Baked Honey Sriracha Chicken Breast recipe is my go-to dish that only needs 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of bake time.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon 5 spices
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- 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
