Description
Honey Garlic Chicken features tender chicken coated in a sweet and savory glaze of honey and soy sauce, infused with garlic for a comforting and delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade. Whisk lightly until well combined.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.
- Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce and garnish with green onions.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken longer if possible. Consider doubling the sauce for more drizzling over rice or veggies.
