Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
1 lb (450g) chicken breasts or thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for spice)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and chili flakes (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Coat the chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and toss it in the honey garlic sauce, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides like rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
