Delicious Honey Ginger Chicken Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper.

    Marinating for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavors.
  2. Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat Pan

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

    Ensure the pan is hot before adding chicken for a good sear.
  4. Cook Chicken

    Remove chicken from marinade and add to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer; chicken should reach 165°F.
  5. Serve

    Slice the chicken and drizzle with remaining marinade. Garnish with green onions.

    Pair with steamed rice or veggies for a complete meal.
