Honey Garlic Glazed Chicken Breasts with Green Beans

Print Recipe

Tender chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce, paired with crisp green beans for a balanced and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for cornstarch slurry)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and green beans. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Bring to a simmer. If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add it to the sauce.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, letting the glaze coat the chicken and green beans evenly.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for juicier results.
  • Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
  • Adjust honey and soy sauce ratio to taste for sweetness or saltiness.
