Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Transfer chicken to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in honey and soy sauce, scraping any bits from the bottom of the skillet until well combined.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Let it simmer together for another 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until caramelized.
  7. Serve hot with rice or vegetables.
