Chicken Breasts In Brown Sauce
Chicken Breasts smothered in a Brown Sauce & cooked in one skillet on top of the stove. There is plenty of brown sauce to use on top of rice or whatever else you want too.
Ingredients
Pound the chicken breasts so
that they are an even thickness.
Pepper both sides of the chicken.
(I forgot to do this step and
added it to the sauce instead.)
In a medium skillet over
medium heat, add the oil. Once
hot add the pounded chicken.
Cook for about 3 minutes on each
side or until it starts to brown.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy
sauce, honey and 1 cup of chicken broth.
Pour over the chicken
and continue to cook for 12 minutes
turning each piece over half way through.
In a small bowl whisk the 1/2 cup
of chicken broth and cornstarch.
Stir into the sauce. Continue to
cook over medium heat, stirring
until the sauce thickens.
Remove the chicken and
strain the sauce (optional).
It makes a much better looking
brown sauce without the
chicken particles in it.
Place the chicken into a serving bowl
and drizzle with the sauce. Use leftover
sauce with rice, broccoli or whatever you want.

Exactly!
Finishing touch for presentation if company’s coming… Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Great recipe Diane. Saving!
Great idea thank you!
YW😁
Yum 🍗 💕
Thank you Saania!
Nice…
Thank you so much!
This sounds great–and easy. You’re right about straining. It makes such a difference. Have a blessed day, Diane!
Omg yum! I feel like I’ve missed so many posts… I have a lot to catch up on lol!
It’s just been a busy beginning of the month I guess.
Very delicious recipe Diane!
Thank you!!!
Sounds yummy, Diane, as usual. 😊

Thank you Mitzy!
This sounds so good!!
Thanks Michelle!
Very nice comfort food. I like that you strained the sauce. It’s the little things that can make a dish special.
After pounding the chicken it makes a mess when you cook it. It was just unappealing…lol Thank you!
You’ll have helpers in the kitchen since the grandkids have no school (or that’s what I heard re: Ohio).
Yes 3 weeks no school, all functions of 100 or more forbidden and even the hospitals have denied all visitors (my daughter is happy she said the visitors are the hardest part of nursing…lol)
They just instituted that here in Michigan after I went to bed – heard it this morning on the news … schools closed until the 6th – might as well have waited until after Easter in my opinion. Your daughter is lucky you are available. Funny your daughter and the visitors … my friend Ann Marie’s husband was in the ICU then a regular room for step-down at a hospital from February 12th until last Friday when he was transferred to a nursing home and she cannot visit him without having her temperature taken and they are discouraging visitors.
My friends husband is in a nursing home and she visits him every day. They just closed it to everyone visiting. She is lost and he will not understand why she doesn’t visit. All she can do is call to see how he is doing. I feel so bad for her but it is for all of the nursing homes residence safety.
Oh, that is so sad – I imagine that is what is happening with Ann Marie’s husband too. He has been shuttled around now for over a month. She was going and staying with him all day at the hospital and then the same for the nursing home. It is for the best, but no in-person visits is just not the same for the patients.
I agree!
Looks pretty tasty!
Thanks Robin!
Oh my goodness!! 😍
It was a nice added flavor to breast meat. I can’t eat white meat plain. I need some sort of sauce. Now dark meat….no problem..lol
NICE! Sometimes I go to the local Chinese restaurant and order what they call Triple Crown. It is jumbo shrimp, chicken, beef, sautéed white mixed vegetables in brown sauce. I have always wondered what the brown sauce was because it is yummilicious! Your recipe makes me wonder if it is the same sauce… Hmmm… They also use a white sauce which is also very good. I think some experimenting is in order. Thanks for sharing!
I have been searching for a brown sauce recipe from a local restaurant as well. For the life of me I can’t make it like theirs and it is making me crazy! lol
I am sure you have tried a lot. I have a few Chinese cookbooks but I haven’t checked.
This one is a spicy brown sauce from a Thai restaurant. I even looked in the grocery store and nothing!
It will go so perfectly with rice! wonderful Diane .
Thank you!
Thank you!🧡
And yet no one else commented on how/why some of the words toward the end were suddenly in what appeared to be German? I found that rather entertaining! 🙂
German? I’m confused…lol
I don’t know if it’s just happening on my end, but the bottom stuff, ingredients, difficulty level, and maybe the word for comments? I think there was something else with a big bold title that’s suddenly in German (or thereabouts) now. Odd, but, again, maybe it’s just my weird computer acting up.
That’s really strange but then again it’s WP!
Oooohhhh so so goood!@
Thanks!
That is quite easy. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Jess and thank you!
Yup, this is perfect for tonight.
I hope you enjoyed it!!
