Hoisin Glazed Chicken Breasts
If you haven’t used hoisin sauce before, you are in for a treat. This tangy, sweet, and spicy sauce turns any dish into a real treat. The added ginger and cilantro makes this chicken breast meal company-ready… or a very nice family dinner, too!
2 chicken breast halves, bone in, skin on
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Put the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Heat the oil until hot and add the chicken and cook 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes or until chicken is nicely browned.
Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the chicken skin side up on the sheet.
Place in preheated oven and bake 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the the hoisin sauce in a mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger and whisk until all the ingredients are combined well.
After chicken breasts have cooked once, brush with the glaze. Return to the oven and continue baking 3 or 4 minutes, brush with glaze again, and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Sprinkle chicken with the cilantro before serving. Any remaining glaze can be used on the chicken after serving.
