A delightful baked chicken recipe with a zesty lime and honey glaze, perfect for a flavorful and easy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a small bowl, mix the honey, melted butter, lime zest, and lime juice. Set aside.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
In one bowl, pour the evaporated milk. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Ensure the eggs are well beaten for an even coating.
On a plate, combine the flour, ginger, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. On another plate, mix the breadcrumbs and red pepper flakes.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Dip each chicken breast first into the evaporated milk, then into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Shake off excess coating between each step for a lighter crust.
Place the coated chicken breasts on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Drizzling oil helps achieve a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle the prepared glaze over the baked chicken before serving.
Warm the glaze slightly for easier drizzling.
Serve the chicken with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Garnish with lime slices for a fresh presentation.
