Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Small Bowl
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Chicken: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides. This simple step boosts the overall flavor.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (if using), and thyme. Stir well until everything is mixed.
  • Cook the Chicken: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by using a meat thermometer—the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Add the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, lower the heat and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken Breast over rice, alongside roasted vegetables, or in a sandwich. Enjoy your sweet and savory meal!

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the chicken as it will dry out. If you're unsure, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly juicy.
