Instructions:
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400F 200C. This will ensure your dish cooks evenly and develops a lovely glaze.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly blendedthis is your savory-sweet sauce.
3. Take your chicken tenderloin and place it in a suitable baking dish. Pour the prepared honey garlic mixture generously over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
4. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Youre looking for the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165F 74C to ensure its fully cooked.

6. Once the chicken is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.
7. Slice the chicken and drizzle the remaining sauce from the baking dish over the pieces. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions.
