Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
- 6 skinless boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp garlic finely minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce substitutes: low-sodium soy sauce, tamari
- 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar substitutes: lemon juice, white wine vinegar, orange juice
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Add the flour to a plate or tray. Lightly coat the chicken with the flour and transfer to a plate. Make sure to shake off any access flour.
- Set a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add 3 tbsp of the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the chicken. Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side. (If the chicken is browning too quickly on one side, lower the heat.)
- While the chicken is cooking, make the honey garlic sauce. In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, honey, garlic and apple cider vinegar together.
- During the chicken's last minute of cooking time, pour the honey garlic sauce into the pan. Lower the heat and cook the sauce to a simmer for about a minute. Then flip the chicken so that the other side simmers in the sauce for another minutes. Then turn off the heat.
- To plate, add the rice and chicken to a plate. Pair it with your favorite veggies and serve immediately. For garnish, I like to add some thinly sliced scallions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the chicken. I like to pair the honey garlic chicken with an Asian cucumber salad. Stay tuned for my cucumber salad recipe which I'll post next week! Enjoy!
