Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs trimmed
- 2 tbsp avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
Marinade
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- salt & pepper
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
Marinate the chicken
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Mix together the marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
Cook the chicken
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium high heat. Add the cornstarch to the marinated chicken and mix well. Once the oil is hot, add in your chicken pieces. Cook each side for 4 minutes. While your chicken is cooking, mix together your sauce ingredients. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat and add the butter and garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be sure to stir frequently so the garlic does not burn. Add your sauce ingredients to the pan and bring to a simmer.
- Add the chicken thighs back into the sauce and let simmer for 6-7 more minutes while the sauce thickens, flipping the chicken half way through.
- Serve immediately over rice or with your favorite side dish. Don't forget a drizzle of that delicious honey garlic sauce!
Notes
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work best but feel free to swap out for boneless chicken breast if you prefer. Be sure to adjust cooking times accordingly.
