Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving, until golden brown and edges are crispy.
  3. Step 3: Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  4. Step 4: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Lower heat to medium and add 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top, cooking for 1 more minute to coat and warm through.
  6. Step 6: Transfer chicken to plates, sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
