Chicken thighs or breast meat?
Either thighs or breast meat is good to use in this recipe. The key is to make sure your meat pieces are all about the same size and thickness.
🍽 Equipment
This recipe is a one-pan wonder. I like using a large cast-iron skillet.
🥘 Ingredients
I think what makes this recipe so good is the simplicity of the ingredients. A perfect amount of sweetness with savory garlic.
- chicken boneless breast meat or thigh
- salt
- pepper
- flour
- butter
- cloves garlic
- apple cider vinegar
- soy sauce or coconut aminos
- honey
🥡Leftovers
If there happen to be any leftovers store your chicken and sauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
I suggest reheating in a shallow oven-safe dish with a cover. It might be necessary to add a few tablespoons of water to the sauce to thin it out also. It will thicken while in the refrigerator. Heat for 12- 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
What to serve with Honey Garlic Chicken
My favorite way to serve this chicken recipe is over Instant Pot Coconut Rice. Instant Pot Coconut Rice is a creamy, slightly sweet aromatic Jasmine rice recipe that is quick and easy to make using your electric pressure cooker.
