- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine honey, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, black pepper, and dried thyme. Whisk until well mixed.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the honey mixture over them, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the foil and spoon some of the sauce from the dish over the chicken to baste it. Continue baking for another 5 minutes, uncovered, to allow the glaze to thicken.
Step 6
Check that the chicken is cooked through by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
