Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts Lean protein with a tender texture.
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced Adds depth of flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons local honey Provides natural sweetness.
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce Adds umami flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons butter Contributes richness and moisture.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing and flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste For seasoning.
  • 2 tablespoons flour Helps thicken sauce.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter; allow the butter to melt and incorporate.

Cooking

  • Carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate for the juices to redistribute.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the soy sauce and honey, stirring to combine, then let bubble gently.
  • Sprinkle the flour into the sauce while whisking continuously to thicken.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, turning to coat it in the sauce, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve the chicken with the sauce drizzled over.

Notes

For best results, let marinate before cooking, ensure skillet is hot, and do not skip resting the chicken. Adjust sweetness to your preference.
