Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and chopped rosemary. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the glaze over the chicken, and let it cook for another 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
In a separate dry pan, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic. Remove from heat.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving platter, drizzle any remaining glaze over them, and garnish with the toasted almonds.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
