Honey Garlic Glazed Baked Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp butter (for extra juiciness)

For the Honey Garlic Glaze:

• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a slight kick)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven – Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
2. Pound and Season Chicken – Pound chicken to even thickness. Pat dry, rub with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
3. Bake – Place in the baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Prepare Glaze – While chicken bakes, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add butter, then garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Glaze and Finish Baking – Remove chicken from the oven, brush generously with the honey garlic glaze, and return to the oven for 5-7 more minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest & Serve – Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with rice, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
