Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water to create the glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Pour the glaze over the chicken in the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Phazyme Glaze take to make?

Total time is about 25 minutes (10 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Phazyme Glaze?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep fresh ginger, grated from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Phazyme Glaze?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Phazyme Glaze for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

What goes well with Sautéed Chicken with Garlic and Ginger Phazyme Glaze?

Asian comfort food like this pair well with a simple grain (rice, couscous, or crusty bread), a quick salad with acid (lemon vinaigrette, pickled onions), and a pan sauce or yogurt-based dip. Tap "Plan a meal with the AI" to get specific side suggestions.
