Description
A delicious honey garlic chicken recipe that is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 small, even-sized breasts)
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (regular, not lite)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- optional Sesame seeds (for serving)
- optional Green onions (for serving)
- optional Cooked white rice (for serving)
Instructions
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create 4 even pieces. Sprinkle both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Add the flour to a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken in the flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off the excess.
- Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Once butter is melted and pan is hot, add chicken in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on one side, or until golden. Flip and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Reduce the heat to medium-high.
- Add soy sauce, honey, and ketchup to the skillet. Stir around the chicken until combined, then bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through.
- Turn the chicken to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve chicken over rice, if using, and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired.
Notes
- Note 1: Adjust the amount of flour based on your preference for coating.
