Description
A quick and easy recipe for tender chicken breasts coated in a sweet and savory glaze, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ground ginger, and some salt and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare for Crunch: In a shallow dish, combine cornstarch and breadcrumbs. Take each marinated chicken breast and dredge it in the mixture.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 1/4 inch of oil. Once it’s shimmering, carefully place the coated chicken in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Create the Glaze: In a small saucepan, add any leftover marinade and simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Drizzle this glaze over the cooked chicken.
