Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan, ensuring they lay flat and don’t overcrowd the skillet.
- Cook the chicken: Cook the thighs for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Add the sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to become sticky.
- Serve: Serve the chicken thighs over cooked rice and drizzle with any remaining sauce from the skillet.
Notes
Boneless chicken thighs are ideal for their tenderness and flavor. Substitute with chicken breasts if desired, but cooking time may vary. Maple syrup can replace honey, and low-sodium soy sauce can be used for a healthier option.
