Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger until smooth; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place Brussels sprouts in the skillet cut side down in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5 to 7 minutes until deeply browned and caramelized.
- Stir the Brussels sprouts and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until just tender, then transfer them to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering.
- Pat the chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and add it to the skillet in an even layer.
- Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through with no pink in the center.
- Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet with the chicken and pour the honey-garlic sauce over the top.
- Toss everything to coat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if using, and serve hot on its own or over rice or noodles.
Notes
- For extra sauce, increase honey and soy sauce to 1/3 cup each.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water and simmer briefly to loosen.
- Chicken thighs can replace chicken breasts; cut them the same size and cook until no longer pink.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water.
