Honey-Glazed Chicken with Lemon Thyme

This delightful dish features succulent chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and tangy honey-lemon sauce, garnished with fresh thyme for a burst of herbal flavor. It’s a perfect combination of sweetness, acidity, and savoriness that will impress any dinner guest. Serve it with roasted vegetables or a light salad to complete the meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, and minced garlic.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, until they are golden brown.
  6. Pour the honey-lemon mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated.
  7. Sprinkle the fresh thyme leaves over the top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and serve with your choice of side dishes.
