Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to make the glaze.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry and set it aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and pour the soy glaze mixture into the same skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the glaze and stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them evenly with the thickened soy glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
Serve hot with rice or steamed vegetables on the side.
