Prepare the Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Glaze:

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Lower the heat to medium and add the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and simmer the mixture for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Glaze the Chicken:

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the glaze.

Serve:

Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish the chicken with sesame seeds and chopped spring onions.

Serve the honey glazed chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice, vegetables, or a salad.
