This dish combines the sweetness of honey with the savory depth of garlic, creating a perfect balance of flavors. It’s quick to prepare and results in tender, juicy chicken with a glossy, delicious glaze that everyone will enjoy.
Step 1
Cut 2 chicken breasts into your preferred size.
Step 2
Season them well with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Melt some butter in a pan over medium heat, then cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, add a bit more butter to the pan along with minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Stir everything together.
Step 5
Let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the chicken nicely.

Toss in some chopped spring onions, give it a quick stir, then turn off the heat.

Serving Advice
Serve with steamed rice or roasted vegetables to soak up the flavorful sauce. A side of crunchy green salad or sautéed greens can add freshness and balance to the meal.
Storage Advice
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to keep the glaze from becoming too thick or sticky.
