# Instructions:
01 -
Pat dry 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs total). Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste on both sides. This initial seasoning is crucial for a flavorful Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast Recipe.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup chicken broth. Set aside for later use.
03 -
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Do not cook through completely at this stage.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add 5 cloves garlic, minced, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped, and 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped to the skillet around the chicken. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, building the aromatic base for your Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast Recipe.
05 -
Pour the prepared glaze mixture over the chicken and aromatics in the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, ensuring the chicken is coated. Continue to cook, turning the chicken occasionally, for 8-10 minutes.
06 -
Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the glaze has thickened to a syrupy consistency, about 3-5 more minutes. This ensures a perfectly cooked Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast Recipe.
07 -
Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle the remaining glaze from the pan over the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast Recipe.
# Notes:
01 -
For even cooking and tenderness, consider lightly pounding the thicker parts of the chicken breasts to an even 3/4-inch thickness before seasoning.
02 -
Leftover Glazed Garlic Herb Chicken Breast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
03 -
Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like oregano or chives, or substitute the apple cider vinegar with white wine vinegar for a slightly different flavor profile.
04 -
This versatile chicken pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
