Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (use low-sodium)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Olive Oil
Begin by heating the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. This will serve as the base for cooking the chicken, ensuring a nice sear that locks in moisture. - Season the Chicken
While the oil is heating, season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. This basic seasoning enhances the flavor of the chicken without overpowering the honey garlic sauce. - Cook the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption. - Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, mix together the honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce. This combination creates a sweet and savory sauce that balances beautifully with the chicken. - Add the Sauce to the Chicken
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the pan. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. - Garnish and Serve
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions. The fresh green onions add a pop of color and a mild onion flavor that complements the dish perfectly.
