Honey Soy Chicken

Total Prep Time: 5 mins  Cook Time: 15 mins

INGREDIENTS

500g chicken thigh fillets (Approx. 4)
1 large clove of garlic,grated
1/8 cup gluten free soy sauce (I used Fountain Sauce Good Choice Soy)
1/2 tsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp honey
Optional toasted sesame seeds as garnish

---

DIRECTIONS

STEP 1: Heat up a teaspoon of cooking oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add chicken thigh fillets. Make sure you leave some gap between the fillets.

STEP 2: In the meantime, add grated garlic over the fillet then flip the chicken fillets to cook on the other side.

STEP 3: When the garlic becomes aromatic, add 1/8 cup soy sauce and 1/8 cup of water.

STEP 4: Cover and simmer the chicken for two minutes and flip the chicken to other sides again so that both sides will absorb the soy sauce. Keep cooking the chicken until fully cooked and sauce will appear to have been reduced.

STEP 5: Use a tablespoon and pour about 1/2 teaspoon worth of sesame oil and make sure you swirl the sesame oil around on the tablespoon before dropping it into the chicken. This step is to grease the spoon which you will use to measure the honey and this will help the honey to slide off the spoon easily.

STEP 6: Add 2 tablespoons of honey and cook on high heat until the sauce starts to thickened, resembling caramel in texture.

STEP 7: Continue to reduce the sauce until it is thick enough coat and stick to the chicken. Remove from the pan, slice (if you like) and garnish with some toasted sesame seeds if preferred.

STEP 8: Serve with rice and steamed vegetables.
