Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 3.5 tbsp unsalted butter (I like Kerrygold unsalted butter for this)
  • 1/4 cup flour

For the sauce:

  • 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (freshly minced for best flavor)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by cutting the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total.

Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Next, place flour in a shallow dish.

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, making sure to shake off any excess.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat, holding back about 1 teaspoon for later use.

Place the floured chicken in the skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.

Then, turn the chicken and cook the other side for about 1 minute.

Reduce the heat slightly to medium-high.

Step 3: Add Garlic and Butter

Make a bit of room in the skillet by pushing the chicken to the sides.

Add the minced garlic to the center and top it with the remaining dab of butter.

Stir the garlic briefly once the butter has melted to ensure it mingles well with the flavors in the pan.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Add vinegar, soy sauce, and honey to the skillet.

Stir or shake the pan to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then let it simmer for about 1 minute or until it slightly thickens.

Step 5: Coat Chicken and Finish

Turn the chicken pieces in the skillet to ensure they are well-coated with the sauce.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir to achieve the desired consistency.

Immediately remove the skillet from the stove once the chicken is well-coated.

Place the chicken on serving plates and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.

Serve hot and enjoy!
