Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a clean surface and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned and nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt, then add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and honey. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and let simmer for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 6
Add in the lemon juice and half of the chopped parsley, stirring to mix thoroughly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve the chicken with the honey butter sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
