A delightful dish combining sweetness and savory flavors, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prep.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Cooking
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For more flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for a few hours before cooking. Adjust the amount of honey or soy sauce based on your taste preference. For a spicier kick, consider adding some red pepper flakes. If you like a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency. To store, let it cool down completely and place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
