Juicy Boneless Chicken Breasts

As usual, once a while I will opt for something different than the normal Chinese meal for our dinner.  This means, no rice and it is something which I prefers hehe..  Today, I am trying out this Boneless Chicken Breast recipe, with a side dish of 'Festive Corn 'n' Broccoli,' and the full recipe will be upload in my next blog post.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

3 pieces chicken breast (skinless and boneless)

1/2 tbsp. olive oil

2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)

3/4 tbsp. honey

Dash smoked paprika

1 tbsp. lemon juice

Salt (to taste)

Dashes ground black pepper

1/2 tbsp. parsley (chopped) - to garnish on the chicken when serving

Lemon wedges - for serving

1 fresh sweet corn, halved and coat with some butter

Methods:

1. Pat dry chicken breast.  Score the bottom of the chicken with few slices.
2. Drizzle olive oil on the chicken, add garlic and rub all over the chicken, both sides.
3. In a small bowl add honey, paprika, lemon juice, salt and pepper; stir to mix, then add to the chicken breast, rub both sides to ensure evenly coated.  Set aside for 15 minutes.
4. Transfer chicken to a baking dish.  Bake in a heated oven of 200 degree Celsius for 20 minutes, or until the side of the chicken are cooked through. Half way through baking, about 10 minutes I place the corn into the oven to bake along side with the chicken breast.  I continue to bake for another few more minutes, until the surface of the chicken breast becomes lightly charred.
5. Remove from oven onto a serving dish, topped with parsley and lemon wedges.  Drizzle the juice from the pan over the chicken breast, squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and serve with a side dish.
