My favourite sauce returns with Honey Garlic Chicken!
Another addition to my 15 Minute Meals and quick Chicken Breast recipes collection!
This Honey Garlic Chicken breast recipe is long overdue. The Sauce in this is a variation of my Honey Garlic Salmon which I first shared way back when I started this website. If I were ever to do a summary of my top 5 Most Used Sauces, Honey Garlic Sauce would probably be right at the top of the list. I love it because it requires so few ingredients that are pantry staples, and when simmered with a seared protein in a skillet so it becomes all bubbly and syrupyâŚ. oh WOW.
Itâs just DA BOMB!!! ( <â Who talks like that at my age???! I do. Only in extenuating circumstances. Excitement over crazy delicious secret-weapon sauce falls under this category.)
Terrific quick chicken breast recipe
Though I personally have a preference for chicken thighs over chicken breast (better flavour,
juicier!), I find myself putting chicken breast in my shopping trolley week after week. Thus over the years, Iâve built up a wide variety of quick and easy chicken breast recipes â and this Honey Garlic Chicken is one of my favourite quick dinners that I find myself making over and over again.
How to make Honey Garlic Chicken
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, dust with flour (makes sauce cling to it better!)
Sear chicken, add butter, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, honey.
Simmer until the sauce thickens. Turn chicken to coat in the amazing honey garlic sauce. And THATâS IT!
It really is that crazy simple.
The chicken in this recipe is dusted with flour before searing, and while it is an optional step, I really do encourage you to do this. The flour creates a crust that the sauce can cling to, so the chicken is smothered with the sauce. If you just sear plain chicken, the sauce just sort of slips off â which is fine, you can scoop it up with each bite. But itâs even better when the sauce is clinging to the chicken!
Thereâs enough Honey Garlic Sauce to squidge your veggies into as well as drizzling over your rice or mopping up with a bread roll. Hope you enjoy! â Nagi x
