Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts
Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 2–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup honey

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken

- Add chicken breasts and cook 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
- Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add minced garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, and vinegar.
- Simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
4. Combine

5. Serve
- Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Extra flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Sticky glaze: Let the sauce reduce 5 extra minutes for a thicker coating.
- Oven option: After browning the chicken, pour the sauce over and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes.
- Meal prep: Makes great leftovers — just reheat with sauce.
