Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
- If using, add crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and coat with the honey garlic sauce. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes, until well glazed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for a juicier option.
- For a thicker sauce, cook it a little longer until it reduces to your desired consistency.
- Serve this dish with rice or vegetables to complete the meal.
