I mentioned before that I don’t totally love chicken, but it seems that I keep shoving chicken recipes in your face.
Maybe I should rephrase that a bit…I do like chicken, but I really need to jazz it up with flavor in order for me to love it. I usually never order chicken at a restaurant, unless I’m in the mood for chicken marsala, or it comes in a pasta dish or pizza. Because, you know, I can’t resist carbs.
But since the hubster loves chicken, I like to challenge myself to create a dish that we’ll both enjoy. This Garlic Bruschetta Chicken definitely hit the spot, and so did that Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. So, moral of the story is that I need chicken with lots of flavor in order for me to love it.
And since it’s 30 minute Thursday, I have my latest (and greatest) chicken recipe for you. It’s a simple dish that can be prepped, baked and ready to be devoured in a half hour. How about that for a Thursday?

This chicken is anything but boring! I love baking with honey, but when I can combine it in a savory recipe and add in some garlic, I’m a happy girl. Because, remember, garlic and I are best friends. And it just so happens that honey and garlic get along pretty well, too.
Another ingredient that makes this Baked Honey Garlic Chicken so special is the Italian breadcrumbs. It contains just the right amount of flavor to coat the chicken. And when the chicken bakes, it turns crispy and golden brown. Perfection right there!
And now, onto my favorite part of this chicken, the honey garlic sauce! And it really couldn’t get any easier. The flavorful mixture combines honey, olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. That’s it! Once the chicken is baked, simply toss it with the warmed sauce and get ready to be amazed.
Your taste buds will thank you, trust me! This Baked Honey Garlic Chicken is crispy, flavorful and packed with just the right amount of seasoning. It’s also the perfect weeknight meal and pleases even the pickiest of chicken eaters! Serve this chicken with some white rice, potatoes, or vegetables, and you have a deliciously easy 30 minute meal!
