Ingredients
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup hot pepper sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- Green onions chopped (for garnish)
- Blue cheese crumbles for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease an 11x8-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the chicken breasts in the dish. Drizzle them with olive oil, then season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk hot pepper sauce, melted butter, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic until combined. Adjust sweetness with additional honey, if needed.
- Evenly pour the sauce over the chicken. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- Remove the dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions and optional blue cheese crumbles.
