Juicy Golden Chicken Breast Every Time — Marion's Mayonnaise Hack & Sticky Soy Garlic Glaze

Marion Grasby shares her foolproof stovetop method for cooking chicken breast that's golden-seared on the outside and perfectly juicy inside — no brining or sous-vide required. Her secret weapon is mayonnaise in the marinade, which locks in moisture, helps garlic stick without burning, and creates beautifully caramelized edges. The chicken is finished with a sticky soy garlic glaze made from pantry staples for a quick, crave-worthy weeknight dinner.
