Here’s a delicious Honey-Glazed Chicken recipe that’s sweet, savory, and easy to make:
Honey-Glazed Chicken Recipe
(serves 4)
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, adds depth)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: sesame seeds, chopped green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Make the glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and Dijon mustard.
- Cook the chicken:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Sear the chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Add the glaze:
- Pour the honey mixture over the chicken.
- Reduce heat to low and cook another 3–5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the chicken, until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
- Serve:
- Remove chicken from skillet, drizzle with remaining glaze.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Tips
- For a sticky, caramelized finish, broil the glazed chicken for 1–2 minutes at the end.
- Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey.
If you want, I can also give a slow-cooker version of honey-glazed chicken that’s hands-off but just as flavorful.
Do you want me to give that version?
