One-pot honey garlic chicken!!!

 

Ingredients:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/4 cup honey

- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- 2 tablespoons water

- Optional garnish: sliced green onions and sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3. In the same pan, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce into the pan with the garlic and stir to combine.

5. In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce in the pan and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.

6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, turning them to coat them in the sauce. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for another 2-3 minutes.

7. Once the chicken is heated through and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.

8. Garnish the chicken with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

9. Serve the honey garlic chicken hot, either on its own or with rice, quinoa, or your favorite side dish.

Enjoy your delicious one-pot honey garlic chicken!
