Description
Delicious honey garlic chicken recipe that’s easy to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup honey
- ⅓ cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (or more for more heat, optional)
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (roughly one pound)
- ¼ cup corn starch
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
- Whisk together sauce: honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon corn starch, vinegar, salt, and pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
- Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice in half the long way, to form two thin chicken breast pieces.
- Place ¼ cup corn starch in a shallow dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Lightly coat both sides of chicken in corn starch and shake off any excess.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, just until starting to brown.
- Remove chicken from pan and add sauce, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits.
- Add chicken back to the pan, stirring constantly until thickened and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Check the largest pieces of chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure they are 165 degrees F.
- Serve.
Notes
- This recipe can be adjusted for desired heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes.
- For a thicker sauce, add more corn starch.
