Pan-fried Honey Garlic Chicken Founded with the vision of creating a trusted information source
This pan-fried honey garlic chicken recipe I am going to share, is without a doubt at the top of my everyday cooking recipe list.
Whenever I decide to make this dish, I’ll marinate the chicken with honey garlic sauce the day before. The next day, all I have to do is heating up the skillet and wait 15 minutes. The tender-crisp chicken with a delicious honey glaze will be ready.
To make the honey garlic sauce, we’ll only need 6 simple ingredients. And I bet you already have all the ingredients in your pantry.
These ingredients are salt, ground black pepper, oil, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic, that’s it! In the recipe below, I have specified the amounts to use for each ingredient to marinate a pound worth of chicken breast (about 4 pieces).
Tips to pan-frying chicken breasts:
I’d like to share some simple tips to help you make chicken that’s tender inside and crispy outside.
- Use medium-low heat to avoid burning the garlic
- Cover the pan with a lid to retain moisture
- Be patient, wait for the chicken to release itself before flipping
For a quick meal, I added some blanched golden zucchini alongside the chicken, sprinkled some freshly chopped scallion on top and served everything over rice.
I hope you enjoy making this simple honey garlic chicken. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
