Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Garlic Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Season Chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Sauce: Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and thyme, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes, until the chicken is coated and heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
