Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts Thighs can be used for extra flavor.
1/4 cup honey Maple syrup can be substituted for a different taste.
3 cloves garlic, minced Garlic powder can substitute if fresh is unavailable.
1/4 cup soy sauce Low-sodium can help reduce saltiness.
2 tablespoons olive oil Any cooking oil will suffice.
1 tablespoon cornstarch Flour can also be used as a thickening agent.

Method

Cooking

Sear the chicken in olive oil over medium heat and remove it from the skillet.
Make the honey garlic sauce by combining honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch dissolved in water.
Return the chicken to the pan, coat it with the sauce, and simmer until thickened and the chicken is fully cooked.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours to deepen the flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F for juicy perfection.
