Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Garlic press
- Wooden Spoon or Spatula
- Meat Thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup honey pure honey recommended
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches if your skillet is not large enough.
- Add the pressed garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the chicken broth and honey, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top. Allow it to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it over rice, drizzle with the remaining sauce, and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F for safe consumption.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar if desired.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
