Description
Delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts glazed with a sweet and savory sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil, then place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce and honey. Stir well to combine.
- Place the seared chicken breasts back in the skillet and coat them with the honey garlic sauce.
- Lower the heat and cover the skillet. Simmer for about 10 minutes, occasionally flipping the chicken until the sauce thickens and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Slice and serve it over rice or quinoa with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer. For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes.
