Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• Cooked rice or steamed vegetables (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and grated ginger (if using). This will be your marinade.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s 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:

   • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later.
   • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden brown color. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

4. Make the Sauce:

   • Once the chicken is cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Bring it to a simmer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. Serve:

   • Slice the chicken and drizzle with the thickened honey garlic sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
   • Serve over cooked rice or alongside steamed vegetables.

Enjoy!

This Honey Garlic Chicken is not only easy to make but also packed with flavor. The combination of sweet honey and savory garlic creates a delightful dish that everyone will love!
