Description
Juicy chicken glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, served with fluffy white rice and steamed broccoli for a comforting and quick dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds), sliced in half lengthwise
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry.
- Once the skillet is hot, add chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and mostly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Pour the soy-honey-garlic mixture into the pan, stirring gently. Once it starts to bubble, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping once, until sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped parsley. Let rest for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve over warm rice with steamed broccoli. Spoon extra sauce over the top for more flavor.
Notes
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to control salt levels.
- Let the sauce simmer after adding the slurry for ideal thickness.
- Prepare all ingredients in advance for smoother cooking.
