Honey Garlic Asian Chicken
This recipe is perfect for 2-3 people and is super simple to make. Double it if needed!
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thigh
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup honey
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 jalapeno chopped (with or without seeds)
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
- 5 green onions chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper on each side. Add olive or coconut oil to a medium/large cast iron on medium heat. Once heated, add chicken and cook on each side for 8-10 minutes or until browned. Cover the skillet (I use a top from a Cuisinart pot), for more even and quicker cooking.
- While chicken is cooking, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the jalapeno and green onions. Place green onions aside.
- In a medium bowl, make the sauce by adding garlic, jalapeno, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, juice of lime and stir with a spoon to mix all ingredients.
- After the chicken has been cooked, discard the extra chicken juices from the skillet.
- Keep the chicken in the skillet, and turn heat to low/medium. Add honey garlic sauce onto the chicken and mix sauce onto chicken with tongs or a large spoon.
- Cook sauce and chicken for about 5 minutes. Allow enough time for the sauce to thicken.
- Top with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve hot with rice or veggies.
