Honey Garlic Zucchini Chicken
Honey Garlic Zucchini Chicken is a quick skillet dinner with tender chicken, zucchini, and a sweet-savory garlic glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
- 2 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 tbsp oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Whisk honey, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken, and spread it into a single layer.
- Cook the chicken for 6–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on several sides and almost fully cooked.
- Add the zucchini slices and continue cooking for 3–4 minutes until they become tender but still retain some firmness.
- Stir the prepared honey garlic sauce once more, then pour it into the skillet and toss everything together.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and zucchini with a glossy finish.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately over rice, finishing with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
