  • Total Time: 45 minutes (plus marinating time)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

Marinade

  • ⅓ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp sriracha (optional)
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: If using whole boneless chicken breasts, slice them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife to create thinner fillets for even cooking.
  2. Make Marinade: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine coconut aminos, avocado oil, sesame oil, fish sauce, minced garlic, sriracha (if using), rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
  3. Marinate Chicken: Place raw chicken and marinade into a large zip-lock bag, seal it securely, and shake to coat all chicken pieces evenly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes, ideally 3 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat Oven: When ready to cook, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. Arrange Chicken: Transfer the marinated chicken and all marinade into a large casserole dish, laying the chicken in a single layer without overlapping.
  6. Bake Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes if using sliced chicken breasts, or 15 minutes if whole.
  7. Baste: Remove the chicken and spoon the cooking juices over the pieces to keep them moist and flavorful.
  8. Broil for Glaze: Switch oven to broil. Broil the chicken for 5 minutes, then baste again and broil for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the chicken turns golden brown and has a glazed appearance.
  9. Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to seal in juices before serving.
  10. Serve: Spoon remaining juices over the chicken. Serve with sides such as jasmine rice, cauliflower rice for a low-carb option, and stir-fried vegetables for a balanced meal.

Notes

  • Marinating overnight enhances the flavor and tenderness of the chicken.
  • Sriracha is optional; omit for a milder taste or adjust the amount to your preferred spice level.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
  • Cauliflower rice is a great low-carb alternative to traditional jasmine rice.
  • Basting during baking and broiling keeps the chicken moist and enhances flavor.
