Description
Honey Garlic Chicken Breast is a quick and easy recipe featuring tender chicken coated in a delicious, sticky honey-garlic sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g boneless, skinless chicken breast
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter or 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces, then season with salt and pepper.
- Coat each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat butter (or olive oil) in a skillet over high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to medium-high, add minced garlic and reserved butter to the pan. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to the skillet. Stir and let the sauce simmer for 1 minute until it thickens slightly.
- Turn the chicken in the sauce to coat it evenly, then remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over the top.
Notes
- If you don’t have chicken breasts, you can use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
- If you’re gluten-free, substitute cornstarch or gluten-free flour for regular flour.
- For a lighter version, use olive oil instead of butter.
- Adjust sweetness or saltiness by adding more honey or soy sauce to the sauce as it simmers.
- Make sure not to overcook the chicken, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer (165°F or 75°C).
