Chicken - Honey Garlic Breast

Category: Chicken

1 lb chicken breast , boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour
3 1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter (or 2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil)
2 garlic cloves , minced
1 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white or other clear vinegar)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)



1. Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
2. Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
3. Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat – hold back about 1 tsp for later.
4. Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
5. Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
6. Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
7. Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
8. Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
9. Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.
