Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine honey, curry powder, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them. Use a brush or spoon to ensure each piece is coated thoroughly.

Step 4

Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes, but for best results, cover the dish and refrigerate for 1–2 hours.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the refrigerator if marinated and allow it to come to room temperature for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through cooking to keep it moist.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the curried honey chicken alongside steamed vegetables, rice, or your choice of sides. Spoon some of the pan juices over the chicken for added flavor.
