Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Green onion, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper until smooth.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and turn them so each piece is coated in the marinade. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, shaking off excess marinade. Cook undisturbed for about 6–7 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the breasts and cook another 6–7 minutes, spooning any pan sauce over the top, until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
- Transfer to a plate, let rest for 3 minutes, garnish with chopped green onion, and serve.
Notes
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you’re watching salt. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Ensure to pound or butterfly breasts for even cooking.
