Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Lightly oil a baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a saucepan, mix the honey, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and lime juice together until well combined. Heat over medium heat until simmering. Turn off heat. Mix cornstarch with 2 teaspoons water and stir in the sauce.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange chicken breasts in the baking dish and top with 2/3 of the homemade sauce. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Remove from oven, garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onion and cilantro. Serve immediately over rice, bulgur or quinoa with remaining sauce on the side. Enjoy! ♥︎
