Ingredients
  

  • 500 g 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 pieces)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter or 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Slice each chicken breast horizontally to make 4 thin steaks. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Lightly coat chicken, shaking off excess.
  • Heat most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat, reserving about 1 teaspoon.
  • Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high. Push chicken aside, add garlic and remaining butter, and stir briefly.
  • Add vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Simmer 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  • Turn chicken to coat in sauce. Add a splash of water if sauce becomes too thick.
  • Remove from heat immediately. Serve hot with extra honey garlic sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

  • Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables
