Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides with 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown and edges are crispy.
Step 3: Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
Step 4: While chicken cooks, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl.
Step 5: Pour the soy-ginger glaze over the chicken in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken until it thickens slightly and coats the meat.
Step 6: Remove chicken from heat, transfer to a serving plate, and spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the top. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving.
