Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the honey glaze over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to coat the chicken in the glaze.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
