Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sauce and Vegetables
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
Cooking Fats
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: Pat the thinly sliced chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Pan-Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through.
- Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
- Glaze with Honey and Soy Sauce: Pour in the honey and soy sauce, stirring to coat the chicken and mushrooms evenly. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy, caramelizing around the chicken and mushrooms.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve the honey garlic chicken and mushrooms hot over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for quicker cooking and tenderness.
- Adjust the honey and soy sauce amount to taste for preferred sweetness and saltiness.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
- Ensure not to burn the garlic by sautéing it on medium to low heat once butter is added.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or green onions as a garnish for extra flavor and color.
