Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust for spice level
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing your chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and ginger to make the marinade.
  3. Place your seasoned chicken breasts into a large zip-top bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them until well-coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
  2. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Serving
  1. Top the chicken with fresh cilantro or green onions and serve with rice or a crisp salad.

Notes

For added crunch, consider throwing some sesame seeds on top just before serving. Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It can also be baked at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes in a baking dish with the marinade.
