Ingredients

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos*
  • 2 tsp Sriracha optional
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all of the ingredients for the marinade (everything but the chicken) to a small bowl and whisk until well-combined.
  2. Transfer the boneless chicken breasts to a zip lock bag or a small container along with the marinade. Seal it and move everything around until the chicken is coated in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, ideally several hours (up to 24 hours). In addition to making the chicken breasts flavorful, marinating them will also help tenderize them.
  3. When you’re ready to bake the chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the chicken, including the marinade to a large casserole dish or large rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Bake the chicken breasts for 15 minutes. 
  4. Remove the chicken from the oven and baste it thoroughly by spooning the juices over top of the breasts.
  5. Adjust the oven to the High Broil setting and broil the chicken for 5 to 8 minutes, or until it is golden brown and the juices have begun to caramelize. Spoon the juices over the chicken again, and serve. 
  6. To ensure the chicken is fully cooked use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature of the chicken. Simply insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the breasts and wait until the numbers stop increasing. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Serve the baked Asian baked chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy! Mashed potatoes, white rice, or roasted broccoli are some simple staples!

Notes

  • Store any leftover chicken breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
