Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and ground ginger until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the honey garlic marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).

3. Cook the Chicken:

   • Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
   • Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
   • Grill or cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

4. Glaze the Chicken:

   • While the chicken is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
   • Brush the thickened glaze over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.

5. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
   • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

6. Enjoy:

   • Serve the honey garlic glazed chicken with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips:

• You can also use this marinade for other proteins like shrimp or tofu.
• Feel free to add vegetables to the grill or skillet for a one-pan meal.

Enjoy your delicious honey garlic glazed chicken!
