Directions

1. Step

Cut the chicken breasts into two even pieces. Slice 2 pieces of lemon and finely chop the green onions.

2. Step

Pat the chicken breasts dry with tissue paper. Use a flat surface or meat hammer to even out the thickness for uniform cooking. Cut small slits into the chicken for faster cooking. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and chili powder (optional). Mix well.

3. Step

Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 2 minutes. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 2 minutes per side. Reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in some garlic, then cover again and cook for another 3 minutes.

4. Step

Remove the lid. Add salt, butter, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp soy sauce, and 2 tsp honey to the pan. Mix well. Place 2 lemon slices in the pan and add 1 tsp vinegar. Cook until the chicken is well-glazed and golden. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the chicken. Stir gently and cook for an additional minute.

5. Step

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Honey Garlic Lemon Chicken!
