Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce

Instructions
 

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish and coat the chicken pieces, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat, reserving about 1 teaspoon for later. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-high. In the same skillet, add the garlic along with the remaining teaspoon of butter. Stir the garlic for a brief moment until fragrant.
  • Pour in the vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, and honey. Stir the mixture or shake the pan to combine, bringing the sauce to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 1 minute until it slightly thickens.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet and coat each piece in the sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir to loosen it up.
  • Remove from heat and plate the chicken. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious honey garlic chicken!

Notes

I always recommend using low-sodium soy sauce and adding salt to taste. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it can become dry. The cutlets are thin, so they don't take very long to cook. For the best sear, give the chicken plenty of room and avoid overcrowding the pan. You may need to sear the cutlets in batches.
