Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the honey glaze over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to coat the chicken in the glaze.

Step 6

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
