Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbsp cold water

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the chicken broth and soy sauce into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch and cold water mixture, then slowly pour it into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to coat.
  8. Serve the chicken immediately with the extra sauce from the pan.
