Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch thickness
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Season the chicken breasts liberally with Kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Work in batches if necessary.
  3. Lower heat to medium. Move chicken to the edges of the pan and add minced garlic to the center. Sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the dark brown sugar, honey, and soy sauce. Pour the mixture over the chicken.
  5. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, tossing the chicken to coat, until the glaze reduces to a tacky, mahogany consistency and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
