 3 cloves garlic, minced
FOR THE CHICKEN

 ½ tsp sweet paprika
 ½ tsp garlic powder
 ½ tsp dried thyme
 ½ tsp dried basil
 1 tbsp cornstarch
FOR GARNISH

Preheat the Oven:
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Baking Dish:
2

Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. 

Prepare the Sauce:
3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the Sriracha sauce, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, and minced garlic. Whisk until thoroughly incorporated and set aside.

Brown the Chicken:
4

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

5

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, and dried basil.

6

Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until just browned.

Bake the Chicken:
7

Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a prepared baking dish.

8

Pour the honey-Sriracha sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is covered completely.

9

Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.

10

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

Thicken the Sauce:
11

Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon out about 3 tablespoons of the sauce into a small cup.

12

Whisk in the cornstarch until well mixed, then stir the slurry back into the baking dish with the remaining sauce.

13

Return the chicken to the oven and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Serve:
14

Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.

15

Spoon additional sauce over the chicken and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.

16

Serve with lime wedges on the side.
