Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless

  • 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup honey
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally, making 4 chicken cutlets. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Add the flour to a large plate or shallow bowl and dredge the chicken cutlet in the flour.
  • Add three tablespoons of butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • When the butter has melted, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Turn the chicken to the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the garlic to the pan along with the last tablespoon of butter. Mix the garlic around as the butter melts to allow it to cook quickly (1 minute).
  • Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to the pan.
  • Mix the ingredients together until well blended.
  • Turn the chicken breasts to coat both sides in the honey garlic sauce.
    *If the sauce gets too thick, add a little water to the pan.
  • Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove.
  • Place the chicken breasts on plates and drizzle with honey garlic sauce.

Notes

*Serve the honey garlic chicken over your choice of rice. I used white rice for this dish, but Jasmin rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice would also work.
*Add your favorite hot sauce, sweet chili sauce, or red pepper flakes to add some heat to the sauce.
*If you'd like to dress the dish up a little, garnish it with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, or chopped parsley.
*If you'd like to change this up a bit, add some vegetables to the dish to make a honey garlic chicken stir fry.
