Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into 3/4-inch pieces.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, brown sugar, ground ginger, and crushed garlic to create the marinade.
  4. Place the chicken pieces in a glass baking dish and pour the marinade over them, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of water to the baking dish with the chicken and sauce.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water in a small cup.
  9. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the pan juices and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes until glossy and thickened.
  10. Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the remaining sauce over the top.
