Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Method
 

Main
  1. Season the chicken thighs lightly with salt and pepper (the soy sauce is already salty, so don't over-salt).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl.
  4. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. Let the sauce simmer and bubble for 3-4 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until the sauce reduces into a thick, sticky glaze that coats the chicken.
  6. Serve the chicken over rice, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
