- Place the chicken breasts in the skillet without crowding; cook for 5–6 minutes on the first side until golden brown.

- Combine softened unsalted butter and honey in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Reduce heat to low, pour the butter-honey mixture over the cooked chicken, and spoon the melted sauce over each breast.
- Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
