Honey Garlic Lemon Pepper Chicken Thighs.

1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs

Salt and pepper

5 slices of lemon

FOR THE SAUCE:

½ cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, plus more for seasoning chicken

Juice of half a lemon

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, garlic, soy sauce, lemon pepper seasoning, and lemon juice.

In a medium skillet, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, season the chicken with salt and lemon pepper seasoning. Place the seasoned side down into the skillet then season the other side. Allow chicken to brown on both sides and cook 90% through.

When the chicken is almost cooked through, reduce heat to medium-low and add lemon slices then add the sauce. Gradually increase the heat to medium until the sauce starts bubbling and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over the chicken as the sauce is simmering, kind of like basting it.

After about 5 minutes, remove the skillet from the heat and allow the sauce to cool. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken before serving. Remove the lemon slices as well!
