Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the soy sauce, honey, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping the chicken once to glaze both sides.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the chicken.
Step 9
Serve immediately, pairing it with rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
