30 minutes
Serves: 2
This Just 5 Challenge finalist recipe is the creation of Kristina K. of Davenport, IA. A simple marinade of honey, soy sauce, lemon, and oil imparts a tangy, sweetness to tender chunks of sauteed chicken.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 large lemon, juiced
- 2 (about 12 ounces) Just Bare Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- Mix honey, soy, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in medium bowl or resealable plastic bag. Place chicken in marinade; refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve); place in skillet. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until a dark glossy brown and no longer pink in center. Cook to internal temp of 165°F.
- Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. Pour reserved marinade into skillet; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until glaze is a syrupy consistency.
- Serve chicken with a drizzle of glaze, a grind of pepper, and the remaining lemon juice, if desired. Sprinkle with almonds.
