Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Pour the honey garlic sauce over the seared chicken in the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Baking

Serving
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with a side of rice or vegetables, drizzling the sauce over the top.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
