Honey Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1.5 lbs Chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces 🍗
- 8 oz Fresh mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button work great!) 🍄
- 3 tbsp Honey 🍯
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce 🥣
- 4-5 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 tbsp Olive oil & 1 tbsp Butter 🧈
- 1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat) 🌶️
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂
- Garnish: Fresh parsley or green onions 🌱
👩🍳 Instructions
- Season: Pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt and black pepper. 🍗🧂
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside. 🍗🔥✨
- Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender (about 4–5 minutes). 🍄🧈🌪️
- The Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes. Stir well as the sauce begins to bubble and thicken. 🍯🥣🧄
- Combine: Toss the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the mushrooms. 🍗🍄🤝
- Glaze: Coat everything thoroughly in that sticky honey garlic sauce for another 1–2 minutes until glistening and hot. 🥄🤤✨
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately! 🍽️😋
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Pan Secret: Don’t crowd the mushrooms! Giving them space in the pan allows them to get that perfect golden-brown sear instead of steaming. 🍄💎
- Serving Suggestion: This is incredible served over a bed of Garlic Butter Rice to soak up all that extra honey garlic glaze! 🍚🧈🎯
