Honey Garlic Chicken

Honey garlic chicken is a one-pan dish that needs only four ingredients and a few minutes at the stove. Small pieces of chicken cook fast and pick up plenty of glaze, while the honey reduces into a dark, sticky coating around them. The garlic is used sparingly, so it sits behind the sweetness instead of overpowering it. Watch the pan near the end, since honey scorches quickly.

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces so they cook quickly and take up the glaze evenly.

Pour enough olive oil into a frying pan to coat the bottom in a thin layer.

Put the chicken pieces into the pan.

Pour honey over the chicken until it is covered, then add the minced garlic.

Cook over medium heat until the honey thickens and darkens and the chicken is cooked through. Take it off the heat in good time, because the sauce can burn if it stays on too long.
