HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN RECIPE

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

1 pound chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

1/3 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for a nutty flavor)

Fresh chopped parsley or sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation:

Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. If using, add the sesame oil for an additional layer of flavor.

Cooking the Dish

Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the honey garlic sauce to the skillet.

Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. If needed, add the cornstarch-water mixture to help thicken the sauce.

Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated and the sauce is sticky.

Serving

Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken hot, garnished with parsley or sesame seeds. It pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or vegetables, making for a balanced and tasty meal.❤️❤️
