Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¼ cup honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional but recommended)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper; pound to an even thickness if desired.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 3-5 minutes, spooning sauce over the chicken and allowing it to thicken and caramelize.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use chicken thighs for a juicier, more tender result.
- Adjust cooking time based on chicken size and thickness.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer longer until desired consistency is reached.
