Chicken in the Pan

This one pan chicken with honey garlic sauce is one of the surprizing dishes I've made recently. This skillet chicken is tender, juicy and packed with flavours. A whole meal in one pan; proteins, carbs, fats and veggies. This easy one pan chicken on a stovetop is the perfect meal for midweek dinner or even for holidays.
