Tips for making honey butter garlic chicken

  • I use chicken thighs, but if you love chicken breasts those will work to.
  • Cut into pieces so it cooks faster and you get more delicious sauce on more areas.
  • A cast iron skillet works great for this. It gets super hot and adds fantastic caramelization to the chicken.
  • I love this chicken over jasmine rice or even mashed potatoes.

 

A weeknight dinner doesn’t get much easier than this. My family said this was a keeper, and they’re my worst critics at times. I was a happy mom knowing I have another no-fuss meal everybody loves.

Honey butter garlic chicken is easy and loaded with tender bites of chicken in a delicious sauce!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes
Total Time 23 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3-4 tablespoons Honey
  • 1- 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken thighs into small bite sized pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet (cast iron works best) on high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let cook until it starts to change from pink to white and get some golden edges about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining butter, garlic, vinegar and honey. Stir until chicken is coated.
  5. Simmer sauce and chicken to caramelize the outside about another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Top with fresh chopped parsley or green onions. Serve chicken over rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

If you use chicken breasts instead of thighs just make sure you adjust the cooking time as chicken breasts will dry out if cooked to long.

To get the best color you need to have a super hot pan.

    The butter, honey, apple cider vinegar and juices from the chicken creates a sauce. There is a video in the post that may be helpful.

    This was delicious! Also very easy to make.! I did add corn starch to the sauce, to thicken it up as mine was very runny. We cooked Basmati rice , to serve with it. Definitely making this again , thank you!

  7. Wendie says

    I’m assuming when you say it resemble scampi, you mean the color isn’t dark. In order to get a good caramelization you need a really hot pan. The sauce isn’t supposed to be super thick, more like a glaze. Hope that helps Morgan 🙂

  8. Morgan says

    Not sure what I did wrong. The sauce never thickened and it resembles shrimp scampi but with chicken.

    This is a great recipe. I didn’t have honey, I used real maple syrup. It didn’t get crispy (may be just my cooking skills) but It was excellent and my kids loved it! Thank you!!

    I thought this was absolutely delicious! Next time I might add a bit of flour or something to thicken the sauce a tad, but flavor was on point !

  16. Misty Williams says

    This was great! I doubled the sauce and put broccoli in with the chicken ,added ground ginger, and at the end little corn starch to thicken! Sooooo good!
