Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts Provides the main protein
- 4 cloves garlic Adds aromatic flavor

Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preparing your chicken breasts. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Finely chop the garlic cloves.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce and honey, stirring until well mixed.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil if needed and lay the chicken breasts in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes on the first side.
- Flip the chicken breasts and add the minced garlic around them.
- Pour the soy sauce and honey mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
- Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for a few moments.
Serving
- Serve the honey garlic chicken breasts whole or sliced, with additional sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
Ensure your chicken is at room temperature for even cooking. Monitor the garlic closely to prevent burning and let the chicken rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
