Ingredients

4 boneless chicken breasts around 2 lbs
½ cup of soy sauce
¼ cup of apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of water
3 chopped garlic cloves
¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper
½ teaspoon of ground ginger

Instructions

Mix your corn starch, ginger, apple cider vinegar, water, pepper, soy sauce, garlic, and sugar over medium heat in a pan. Allow it to boil. Turn the heat down to low and cook for around 10 minutes, making sure to keep mixing.
When the sauce reaches desired thickness, turn the heat off and let it set for 5 minutes.
Whilst doing so, oil a big baking pan for your chicken breasts, and turn on the oven to 375 F.
Transfer your chicken into the greased baking pan and coat with half the sauce.
Cook in your oven for 15 minutes, then cover with the leftover sauce. Return to the oven and cook for another 10 to 20 minutes until the chicken is done.
Take the pan out of the oven and let it chill for a couple of minutes, then plate with some salad, rice, or vegetables. Top with some sliced green onion or sesame seeds.
