Instructions
Creating Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by washing the chicken breasts and patting them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Set aside.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.
5. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken over and reduce the heat to medium. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken.
6. Simmer: Let the chicken cook in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens.
8. Garnish: Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chicken with sauce drizzled over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!
