Follow these straightforward steps to create your own Honey Garlic Chicken:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil. Stir well to create a cohesive sauce.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the honey garlic mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and add the chicken to the pan.
5. Brown the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
6. Thicken the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade. If desired, mix the cornstarch with a small amount of water to create a slurry, then add it to the sauce. Bring it to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for a few minutes.
7. Coat the Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the pan, tossing it in the thickened sauce until well-coated. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh garnish.
