Oven-Baked Honey Soy Chicken

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders

4 cloves garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste, if need

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Line a 9×11″ pan with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray (if you don’t use the foil, the honey/soy combo will be a cooked-on mess that is so hard to scrape off!).

Place the chicken tenders on top of the foil-lined pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and sale and pepper if needed. Pour mixture on top of the chicken in the pan. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes. Flip the chicken over, then continue to bake for 15-20 more minutes.

Remove from oven and serve with white rice and stir-fry vegetables (I topped mine with green onions- anything goes).
