Honey Chicken

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This will be your sweet and savory honey glaze.
  • Cooking Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
  • Add Glaze: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey glaze over the chicken in the skillet. Make sure to coat each piece evenly.
  • Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the glaze for an additional 2-3 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, and the glaze to thicken slightly.
  • Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet, slice it if desired, and drizzle with any remaining glaze. You can sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and a pop of color.
  • Enjoy: Serve the honeyed chicken over rice or with your favorite side dishes. It’s a tasty blend of sweet and savory that everyone will love!
