Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in the hot pan.
- Sear the chicken until the edges turn golden, then remove from the skillet.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the soy sauce and honey, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 6–10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a minute before slicing.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before searing for a better crust. Adjust seasoning and sauce thickness as needed.
