Marinated Chicken Breasts with Two Marinade Options
15 mins prepServes 4
This recipe offers two distinct marinade options—Balsamic Honey Dijon or Hot Honey Lime Soy Sauce—to flavor chicken breasts, which are then baked and broiled to perfection using precise temperature guidance for juicy results.
First, choose one of the two marinade options. For the Balsamic Honey Dijon Marinade, combine 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar, 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tbsp Honey, 1 tsp Dijon Mustard, 1/4 tsp Onion Powder, 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder, 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. For the Hot Honey Lime Soy Sauce Marinade, combine 1 tbsp Olive Oil, 3 tbsp Soy Sauce, 2 tbsp Lime Juice, 1 crushed Garlic Clove, 1 tbsp Hot Honey, 1/4 tsp Onion Powder, 1/4 tsp Pepper, and 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes in a bowl.
Place your chosen chicken breasts (quantity not specified, typically 2-4) into the chosen marinade and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200°C). Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 130ºF (54°C). Then, broil on high heat until the chicken reaches 165ºF (74°C) internally. A good quality digital meat thermometer is key to achieving perfectly cooked chicken breast.
