Equipment

  • A medium-sized mixing bowl

  • A whisk or fork (for mixing)

  • A frying pan or skillet

  • A spatula

  • A knife (for mincing garlic)

  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1/3 cup of honey

  • 1/4 cup of low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional garnishes: sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions

1

Start by mixing the garlic, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl.

2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

3

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

4

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides.

5

Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken.

6

Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.

7

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

8

Serve with your choice of sides such as rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

I recommend marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking to enhance the flavors. Using low-sodium soy sauce is key to controlling the salt content. Additionally, if you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the sauce as it cooks. Don't forget to taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
