How to Make One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken
Step 1: Season chicken with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil.
Step 3 : Sear chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes on each side. Make sure the chicken is cooked though and golden brown. Bone-in chicken thighs take a long time to cook but juicy chicken thighs are worth the wait!
Be careful with the hot oil. Once chicken is cooked to the internal temperature of 165 degrees F using an instant-read thermometer, switch the heat to medium low.
Step 4: To make the sweet honey garlic sauce, combine honey, soy sauce and chili flakes in a small bowl.
Step 5: Pour on the chicken and stir until combined.
Step 6: Add mango and garlic around the chicken thighs. Cook for about two minutes.
Step 7: Remove, garnish with cilantro and serve.
Additions and Substitutions
We like bone-in and skin-on chicken thighs to make honey garlic chicken thighs, but you can certainly use skinless, boneless chicken thighs or even skinless chicken breast if you prefer.
Next time you make this, try adding your favorite veggie like broccoli, green beans, snow peas, or even baby potatoes to this chicken dinner will switch it up so it's not even the same meal but is still super easy to make.
You might want to roast the potatoes in the oven first and get them crisp. I'd also add the broccoli during the last few minutes so it's tender crisp, just giving the chicken and vegetables time to absorb the flavor of the sauce.
Cauliflower rice is a good low carb option but be sure not to overcook it. Sprinkling green onion on top of the chicken would add nice flavor, too.
If you want to add a bit more sweetness, a sprinkle of brown sugar will do the trick. Be careful not to overdo it.
Serve this one-pan honey garlic chicken with white or brown rice.
