Sweet And Spicy Herbed Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar or 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 1/2 teaspoons ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (can be cut into strips if you prefer)
sesame seeds (optional)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, blend the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar. Mix in the thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper, allspice, and black pepper.
Place chicken in a medium baking dish, and coat with the olive oil mixture. Let marinate at least one hour, or even longer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Place chicken in a preheated 375F oven, and, basting occasionally with the olive oil mixture, cook 30 minutes, or until no longer pink and juices run clear.
Serve over the rice with remaining olive oil mixture.
