My favorite Honey Recipe ♥️👉👉🍯
One of my favorite recipes with honey is Honey Garlic Chicken! It's super tasty and pretty easy to make. Here's a quick rundown:
👉👉 Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
♥️🍯👉Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Marinade**: In a bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
2. **Marinate the Chicken**: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well-coated. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
3. **Cook the Chicken**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish, pouring any extra marinade over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
4. **Bake**: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. You can also baste the chicken with the marinade a couple of times during cooking to keep it moist.
5. **Garnish and Serve**: Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if you like. Serve with your favorite sides like rice or steamed veggies.
Enjoy your delicious Honey Garlic Chicken! 🍯🍗
