Honey Garlic Chicken Breast
Delicious Honey Garlic Chicken Breast recipe that combines tender chicken with a sweet and savory sauce.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
- salt
- pepper
- ¼ cup flour Note 1
- 3.5 tablespoon unsalted butter or 2 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white or other clear vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light or all purpose (Note 2)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
- Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat – hold back about 1 teaspoon for later.
- Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
- Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
- Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
- Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
- Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
- Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.
Notes
1. Gluten free – use cornflour / cornstarch instead. ‘2. Light or all purpose soy sauce is suitable for this recipe. I don’t recommend using Dark Soy Sauce (flavour will dominate).
