Chicken Breast with Soy Ginger Glaze

This cozy weeknight chicken is all about bold flavor with minimal effort. Juicy chicken breasts are pan-seared, then coated in a glossy soy ginger glaze that’s savory, slightly sweet, and deeply comforting. It’s simple enough for busy nights but special enough to crave again.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp water

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
3. In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
4. Pour the glaze into the same skillet and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly.
5. Cook 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon glaze over the top, cooking 1-2 minutes to coat evenly.

Tip

Grate the ginger finely so it melts into the sauce and keeps the glaze smooth and glossy.

Serve this chicken over rice or veggies and save it for your next easy dinner night.
