Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts or 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/3 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Pat chicken dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

4. Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Add honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly.

6. Return chicken to the pan, turning to coat in the sauce. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until sticky and glossy.

7. Garnish with fresh rosemary or parsley if desired. Serve hot over rice, potatoes, or veggies.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, double dredge: dip in flour, then a beaten egg, then flour again before cooking.

You can substitute maple syrup or agave for honey if needed.

If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water to loosen before serving.
