Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and button mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
Step 5
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the honey soy sauce mixture over the chicken and mushrooms.
Step 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 7
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out slightly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the Chicken and Mushrooms in Honey Sauce over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
