Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your kitchen by gathering all ingredients and tools: cutting board, knife, mixing bowl, and measuring cups.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly; let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. If needed, add a touch of oil to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place marinated chicken breasts into the skillet. Sear each side for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet after flipping the chicken and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat once the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
