Honey-Garlic Chicken

 

• 500g / 1 lb chicken breast , boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup flour (Note 1)
• 3 1/2 tbsp (50g) unsalted butter (or 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil)
• 2 garlic cloves , minced
• 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white or other clear vinegar)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce , light or all purpose (Note 2)
• 1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)

• • Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
  • Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat – hold back about 1 tsp for later.
  • Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  • Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
  • Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
  • Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
  • Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
  • Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.
