Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 1 ounce soy sauce
- 1 ounce pineapple juice
- 1 ounce honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 pinch ground ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat skillet to medium high and coat with olive oil. Once skillet is hot, add chicken thighs to sear. Do not crowd them (they won't stay dry enough to get a dry sear). Don't move them until you get the sear. Cook on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each.
- Once almost cooked through, pour into your skillet a mixture of soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, garlic and a pinch of ground ginger.
- Let chicken cook in sauce until sauce reduces by half, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with pineapple and broccoli.
