Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and combined. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat completely.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the chicken absorb the sauce.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
