Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 250 grams button mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and button mushrooms. Sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the honey soy sauce mixture over the chicken and mushrooms.
Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally spooning the sauce over the chicken, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the Chicken and Mushrooms in Honey Sauce over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
