Glazed Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken
If you haven’t noticed yet, 30 minute meals are becoming my BFF lately. And my skillet meals are becoming quite popular on my site. This Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken is soaring to one of the most popular skillet meals on the site!
These 30 minute meals are saving me during the busy school year and I am still able to provide a delicious meal that brings the family together for just a few minutes each night.
The best part about this recipe is that it only requires a few ingredients. I had all of the ingredients in the pantry and some costco chicken in the fridge and this meal was on the dinner table in no time at all!
The chicken gets cooked in butter on the skillet infusing delicious flavor and making the chicken tender and juicy. And then the glaze that goes on top is incredible.
A little bit of tang from the lemon, plus the sweet honey, and garlic all come together to add big flavor to this simple meal.
Your entire family will love this meal! And you will love it because it is easy to make and has the most incredible lemon garlic honey glaze. Simple, minimal ingredients, and big on flavor. That is how we like ’em!
How to make Glazed Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken?
- In a medium sized skillet add the butter and allow to melt over medium high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet and salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink and 165 degrees.
- In a small bowl whisk olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce and Italian seasoning. Pour it on top of the chicken and cook for a few minutes to allow the garlic to cook and for the sauce to reduce and thicken.
Chicken Breast or Chicken Thighs?
You can substitute thighs for chicken breasts. You get a better flavored part of the chicken from the thighs that are a working muscles, which is why they are darker meat. I prefer thighs over breasts for cooking and eating however either is great for this recipe.
How do you know when Chicken Thighs are done?
The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165° Fahrenheit(75° Celsius). A meat or instant-read thermometer is your best bet for determining the temperature of your chicken, and if you’re cooking a whole bird, it should be inserted into the thickest part of the thigh but not touching bone.
