Place the garlic, ginger, soy, honey, and sesame oil in a blender and puree. Place the chicken in a nonreactive shallow bowl, add the garlic mixture, and stir to combine. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and no more than 4 hours.
Remove and discard as much of the marinade as possible. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt and pepper.
Place a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over high heat and, when it is hot, add the canola oil. Add the chicken breasts, skinned side down, one at a time, waiting about 30 seconds between additions. Cook until well browned and done throughout, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
