Honey Garlic Chicken is a sweet and savory dish that’s incredibly easy to prepare. The combination of honey and garlic creates a delicious glaze that coats the chicken, making it tender and flavorful.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Season the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer, turning the chicken occasionally to coat it evenly. Cook for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glaze.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish. Serve the chicken with rice or steamed vegetables.
