Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup pure honey
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: mince garlic and zest the lemon.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes on each side).
  4. Add sauce and simmer: Pour remaining marinade into the skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook for another 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. Serve: Plate with rice or veggies, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with green onions.
