🍗 Full Recipe: Honey Garlic Chicken Breasts
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Pound the chicken breasts slightly so they cook evenly.
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Coat each piece lightly in flour and shake off the excess.
Step 2: Sear the Chicken
Heat a large skillet and add the butter.
Once melted, pan-sear the chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove the chicken and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Delicious Honey Garlic Sauce
In the same pan, add a little more butter if needed.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Then add:
Honey
Soy sauce
Vinegar
Ground black pepper
Stir everything together and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Coat and Serve
Return the chicken to the pan.
Spoon the sauce over the chicken and cook for another 2–3 minutes so it absorbs all the flavors.
Serve hot with rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or veggies.
