Description

This Honey Garlic Chicken recipe delivers a sticky, savory, and irresistible delight! Combining tender chicken with a sweet and flavorful honey garlic sauce, it’s an easy-to-make crowd-pleaser perfect for any night of the week. Serve over rice, noodles, or with your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • Honey
  • Soy sauce
  • Garlic (freshly minced)
  • Olive oil
  • Rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and rice vinegar.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, then add the chicken breasts. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it evenly with the sauce. Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or with your favorite vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet when searing the chicken; work in batches if necessary.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to your taste to achieve the perfect balance of sweet and savory.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha to the sauce.
