Season both sides with salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n<h3>2 Pan-Sear the Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.<br \/>\nAdd the chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Sear for about <strong>3\u20134 minutes per side<\/strong>, until golden brown and fully cooked.<br \/>\nRemove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>3 Build the Flavor Base<\/h3>\n<p>Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for <strong>30 seconds<\/strong>, just until fragrant (do not let it burn).<\/p>\n<h3>4 Cook the Mushrooms<\/h3>\n<p>Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for <strong>4\u20135 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become soft and lightly browned.<\/p>\n<h3>5 Make the Honey Garlic Sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Pour in the honey and soy sauce. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sauce simmer for <strong>1\u20132 minutes<\/strong>, until slightly thickened.<\/p>\n<h3>6 Combine Everything<\/h3>\n<p>Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together so the chicken is fully coated in the sauce. Simmer for another <strong>2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>, until the sauce becomes sticky and glossy and the chicken is well glazed.<\/p>\n<h3>7 Final Touch<\/h3>\n<p>Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with parsley or green onions and remove from heat.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Serve over <strong>steamed white rice, jasmine rice, or brown rice<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Pair with <strong>noodles, lo mein, or rice noodles<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Add a side of <strong>steamed broccoli, green beans, or stir-fried vegetables<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Tips for Best Results<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for extra juiciness.<\/li>\n<li>If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water or chicken broth.<\/li>\n<li>For extra shine and thickness, you can add <strong>\u00bd teaspoon cornstarch mixed with water<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid high heat once the honey is added to prevent burning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken:<\/strong> Add sriracha or chili paste<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asian-Inspired:<\/strong> Add sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low-Sugar Option:<\/strong> Reduce honey to 1 tablespoon and add a little broth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook Time:<\/strong> 15 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 25 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serves:<\/strong> 2\u20133 people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Honey Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms &nbsp; Easy One-Pan Dinner with a Sweet &amp; Savory Glaze Honey Garlic Chicken with Mushrooms&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicken","category-home"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=788"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":790,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788\/revisions\/790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
