Description
A delightful blend of flavors, honey garlic chicken breasts are a simple yet flavorful weeknight dinner option that elevates any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Sear the chicken: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet when the oil is hot. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Make the honey garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce and honey, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
- Return the chicken: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, add the seared chicken back into the pan. Coat the chicken with the sauce and lower the heat. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, ensuring the chicken cooks through.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it into pieces, and drizzle with extra honey garlic sauce before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, consider garnishing with chopped green onions or sesame seeds. Perfect with rice or steamed vegetables.
