Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Breasts:

  • 4 chicken breasts

Fresh Garlic:

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Local Honey:

  • 2 tablespoons local honey

Soy Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Olive Oil:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and Pepper:

  • To taste

Flour:

  • 2 tablespoons flour

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Chicken Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into cutlets. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the chicken with flour to help with the searing process.
  2. Creating the Perfect Sear Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the chicken in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, allowing a golden sear to form. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden brown on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  3. Building the Sauce Lower the heat and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and stir constantly for about 30 seconds, allowing it to become fragrant. Pour in the soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
  4. Finishing the Dish Whisk in the honey and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the sauce over each piece to coat it. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the chicken is fully cooked through and has absorbed the flavors of the sauce.
  5. Serve and Enjoy Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce is thickened, serve the chicken hot, spooning the sauce over the top. Pair it with your favorite sides like rice, steamed vegetables, or noodles.
