Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 pieces Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them sear nicely when cooking.
Step 2
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being cautious not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and ground black pepper to the pan, stirring well to combine.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the pan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, coating them with the honey garlic sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes before removing from heat.
Step 8
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Step 9
Serve the honey garlic chicken hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
