1. 2 boneless chicken breasts halves (skinless)
2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
3. 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4. 1 teaspoon paprika
5. 2 tablespoons butter
6. 4 cloves minced garlic
7. 1 tablespoon vinegar
8. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
9. 2 tablespoons honey

Alternative Ingredients

• If you prefer a different protein, you can use boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts.
• Swap olive oil for avocado oil or melted butter if desired.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Split each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 4 pieces.
   • Dust the chicken with flour (this gives it a slight crust for the sauce to cling to).
2. Sear the Chicken:
   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken and sear until golden brown on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side).
   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add:
     • 2 tablespoons butter
     • 4 cloves minced garlic
     • 1 tablespoon vinegar
     • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
     • 2 tablespoons honey
   • Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly.
4. Coat the Chicken:
   • Return the seared chicken to the skillet.
   • Turn the chicken to coat it thoroughly in the honey garlic sauce.
   • Let it simmer for a few more minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature 74C or 165F) and glazed.
5. Serve and Enjoy!:
   • Plate the chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce over it.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
