Description

This dish reminds me of cozy weeknights when we needed something quick yet special. A sweet and garlicky glaze hugs each bite of tender chicken—so simple, yet it feels like a little kitchen magic. Great with rice, veggies, or even a salad. Try it once, and it’ll become a go-to favorite at your table.


Ingredients

Scale

Base:

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter, divided

Sauce:

6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar

1/3 cup honey

Seasoning & Garnish:

Kosher salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Green onions, thinly sliced


Instructions

Lightly coat chicken breasts with flour, shaking off excess.

In a skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

In the same pan, add remaining butter and garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.

Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 3–5 minutes).

Return chicken to pan, coat with sauce, and simmer another 2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper, then garnish with green onions.
