Description
A delightful dish of tender chicken glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs of chicken thighs or breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1/2 cup honey (preferably raw for better flavor)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (fresh or powdered)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions (for garnish, optional)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and prepping them. Wash the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and grated ginger.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add the chicken, searing each side for about 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown.
- Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Uncover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken. Flip the chicken halfway through.
- To serve, plate the chicken and drizzle with any remaining sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
For healthier variants, use skinless chicken breast or substitute honey with agave syrup.
