Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce to create the sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
- Add Sauce to Chicken: Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the sauce thickens and coats the chicken well.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey garlic chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes such as rice, vegetables, or salad. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your taste preference.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari.
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to avoid undercooking.
