Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice, mixing until well combined. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until it slightly thickens.
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, coating them in the honey sauce. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping the chicken occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is glossy and clings to the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the chicken with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm with a side of steamed rice or roasted vegetables to soak up the delicious honey glaze.
