Creating your own incredible Honey Garlic Chicken is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Begin by patting the chicken dry with paper towels. This helps the chicken develop a good sear.

2. Season: Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and ground ginger (if using).

4. Heat Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

5. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Add Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet.

7. Simmer: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-5 minutes. This thickens the sauce while coating the chicken beautifully.

8. Finish: Ensure that the chicken is well-glazed and heated through, then remove from heat.

9. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

10. Serve: The Honey Garlic Chicken is now ready to be served over rice, noodles, or with a side of veggies!

By following these steps, you will create an exquisite dish that everyone will enjoy.
