Easy Honey Garlic Chicken Recipe

Recipe for Easy Honey Garlic Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 pieces of chicken breast (1 lb) boneless and skinless
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 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 vinegar)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)

Directions

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 the heat down slightly to medium-high.
6. Make a bit of room in the pan, add garlic, and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once the butter melts.
7. Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir or shake the 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 1/2 tsp of water and stir.
9. Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over the remaining sauce.

This tasty chicken is great served with rice and steamed veggies.
