This Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts recipe offers a deliciously sweet and savory meal that is quick and easy to prepare. Tender chicken breasts are pan-seared and then coated in a luscious honey garlic sauce, bringing a perfect balance of flavors to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons flour

Sauce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons local honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each breast with flour to help achieve a golden crust during cooking.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the honey garlic sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add honey and soy sauce: Stir in the local honey and soy sauce into the skillet with garlic. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
  5. Combine chicken with sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavors and is fully coated with the sauce.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey garlic chicken breasts hot with your choice of side dishes, garnished if desired.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, let it rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing.
  • You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Adjust honey amount to taste if you prefer it sweeter.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
  • Make sure not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
