Ingredients
4 chicken breasts (split in half to make 8 pieces)
1 tablespoon flour (for dusting the chicken)
1 tablespoon butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider or white vinegar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
-
Split each chicken breast in half, creating 8 pieces. Dust the chicken lightly with flour.
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
-
Add vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet and turn it to coat in the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thick and glossy.
-
Serve the chicken with a drizzle of the honey garlic sauce, and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
If you prefer a tangier flavor, add extra vinegar.
This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice, cauliflower rice, or a simple salad.
