Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary or parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic to create the glaze.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and nearly cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the honey glaze over the chicken in the skillet, making sure to coat each piece evenly.
Let the chicken simmer in the glaze for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally and spooning the glaze over the top, until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze has thickened slightly.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley for added visual appeal and flavor.
Serve the honey-glazed chicken warm with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, brown rice, or a light salad.
