Spicy Garlic Chicken With Lemon Glaze

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the chicken breasts.
  2. Mix the panko breadcrumbs with the minced garlic and dried oregano in a shallow dish, then press each chicken breast into the mixture to coat both sides.
  3. For the glaze, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, honey, Tabasco sauce, and minced lemon zest in a small bowl and set it aside.
  4. Warm the olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Cook the coated chicken until it is browned on both sides and fully cooked, which should take about 12 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  5. Pour the prepared glaze into the same skillet and let it bubble until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, which takes less than a minute.
  6. Place the chicken back into the skillet, turning each piece once to ensure it is fully covered in the glaze.
  7. Plate the chicken and serve immediately.
