Absolutely! Here’s a sweet and savory Honey Garlic Chicken recipe—perfect for a quick dinner or slow cooker meal 🍯🧄🍗
Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Chicken:
- 1.5 lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- ½ cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp ketchup (optional, for a tangy sweetness)
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)
Optional Garnish:
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
2. Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix honey, garlic, soy sauce, and ketchup.
- Pour sauce over chicken in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 5–7 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken occasionally.
3. Optional: Thicken the Sauce
- If you want a thicker glaze, stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer 1–2 more minutes until sauce thickens.
4. Serve
- Serve chicken over rice, noodles, or steamed vegetables.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
Tips for Best Results
- Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts, but breasts work too.
- For a slow cooker version, toss raw chicken and sauce together and cook on Low for 4–6 hours.
- Make extra sauce for drizzling—it’s addictive!
💡 Pro Tip: Brush a little sauce on the chicken in the last 2 minutes under the broiler for a sticky, caramelized finish.
