Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet; cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Pour the honey-garlic mixture over the chicken and reduce the heat slightly.
  4. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken cooks through.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions for some freshness.

Notes

For presentation, slice the chicken before serving to showcase the glaze. Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; can freeze for up to 2 months. Marinate chicken in the honey-soy-garlic mixture for deeper flavor. Add red pepper flakes for a kick.
