A quick and satisfying honey garlic chicken dish featuring a sweet and savory sauce with golden-seared chicken breasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Rice or fresh vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry and season with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until undersides are golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Flip the chicken and brown the other side for another 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Pour honey garlic sauce over the chicken, reduce heat to low, and let simmer, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a plate to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
  7. Spoon pan sauce over the sliced chicken and serve with rice or vegetables. Enjoy your meal!

Notes

For a higher smoke point, swap olive oil for avocado or light vegetable oil. To make gluten-free, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
