Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add the unsalted butter, and let it melt.
Step 6
Add minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Stir in the honey, fresh lemon juice, and low sodium chicken broth. Mix well until the mixture starts to simmer.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and coat them with the honey glaze.
Step 9
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the chicken.
Step 10
Transfer the oven-proof skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 11
Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through the baking process to ensure it stays moist and flavorful.
Step 12
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 13
Serve warm, drizzled with extra sauce from the skillet.
