Time 8h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ cup soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
4 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch strips
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
1 onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, honey, and ginger in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken breast and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the spaghetti, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess, then add to the skillet. Discard the remaining marinade. Cook the chicken breast strips until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Serve chicken over spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more intense flavor than powdered garlic, and it will give your chicken a more authentic taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and it will be more difficult to get a crispy skin.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat will help the chicken cook through without burning the outside.
  • Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: This will help the chicken cook evenly on both sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Sarina's Sweet Garlic Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the garlic sauce is flavorful and addictive. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
