Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts
Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced finely
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the chicken brown nicely when cooking.
- Make the sauce and cook the chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, soy sauce, and honey until well combined. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the chicken, then pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken.
- Glaze and finish cooking: Continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened to a glaze.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and spoon extra sauce over the top. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a less salty flavor.
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- Check chicken internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
