Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Set aside.
-
In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients to make the
marinade. Pour the marinade over the chicken to coat. Squeeze any extra air out of the bag and seal it. - Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Once the chicken has finished marinating, discard any unabsorbed marinade. Cook the chicken in the oven at 400° F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F.
