Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup honey
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
– 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
– Chopped green onions (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

Making Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the sauce adhere better.
2. Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, and salt.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken.
5. Optional Thickening: If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Stir it into the sauce and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the chicken with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve: Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving platter and drizzle the remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious dish that is both visually appealing and bursting with flavor.
