Directions
-
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.
