Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 1 lb chicken breasts in a baking dish and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Earl Grey tea leaves, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 minced garlic cloves until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Brush the tea mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring full coverage. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent drying.
  4. Step 4: Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, basting once with the pan juices after 15 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the glaze is caramelized and glossy.
