Can I use other proteins instead of chicken for this recipe?

Absolutely! This honey-garlic sauce works wonderfully with turkey, beef strips, shrimp, or tofu if you're looking for a vegetarian option. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the protein you choose, as each option cooks differently.

How do you store leftovers of Honey Garlic Chicken?

Store any leftover Honey Garlic Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to reheat, the microwave works well, but for best texture and flavor, reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to refresh the glaze.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! You can replace the chicken with tofu or tempeh and use a plant-based sweetener instead of honey. The same cooking method applies, and the sauce will still be rich and flavorful.

What can I serve with Honey Garlic Chicken?

This dish pairs perfectly with rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables. For a lighter option, serve it over a bed of greens to create a fresh and satisfying salad that complements the honey-garlic glaze.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Definitely! Honey Garlic Chicken is great for meal prep since it stores well and reheats nicely. You can cook a larger batch and portion it out for easy meals throughout the week.
