A delightful chicken dish glazed with honey and aromatic herbs, perfect for a family meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the chicken.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning of the chicken.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until softened and fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the honey, basil, black pepper, and salt, and cook until the mixture is well combined.
Adjust the seasoning to taste at this stage.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Place the browned chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
