Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 500g / 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup flour (Note 1)
Sauce:
- 3 1/2 tbsp (50g) 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, light or all purpose (Note 2)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Cut the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks. Season each side with salt and pepper.
- Coat chicken: Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Cook chicken: Melt most of the butter in a skillet over high heat. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
- Prepare sauce: Reduce heat to medium-high. Add garlic, remaining butter, vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
- Finish dish: Coat the chicken in the sauce. If needed, thin the sauce with water. Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil for butter for a lighter version.
- Adjust the honey to your taste preference – more for sweeter, less for a milder flavor.
