Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts

Need a sweet and savory weeknight quick and easy dinner?  

Well . . . this is your answer.  It's ready in 30 minutes and it's sure to satisfy.

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup honey

2 Tbsp sou sauce

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp ground pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp fresh parsley (for garnish)

Sesame seeds for garnish

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.  

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook 6 - 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through.  Remove chicken from pan and set aside.  

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.  Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.  Allow the mixture to simmer for 2 - 3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly.  

Return the chicken to the pan, turning to coat all sides with the honey garlic sauce.  Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken for an even coat.   

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.  Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
