Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to gently flatten them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl to combine.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic to the same skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chicken stock, honey, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Add the walnuts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce and walnuts over the top. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the chicken and walnuts for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
