Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts boneless skinless approximately 1½ pounds, pounded to ½-inch thickness
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley fresh , plus more for garnish
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup flour all-purpose
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted ,divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vinegar apple cider
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry with a paper towel and use a sharp knife to make 4-5 cross-hatch cuts, making sure to not cut all the way through the chicken.
- Drizzle olive oil over both sides of each chicken breast.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Season the chicken all over with the seasoning mixture, including rubbing it into the grooves.
- In a wide, deep plate, add the flour. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, coating all sides. Shake off excess flour.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Add chicken, cross-hatch side up, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and repeat on the opposite side. Chicken may not be cooked through yet; it will continue cooking in the final step.
- Remove chicken from pan, and tent it to keep warm.
- To the skillet, add the remaining butter and garlic, and cook for one minute.
- Add honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the skillet and whisk to combine.
- Add the chicken back to the pan, cross-hatch side up. Allow the mixture to simmer until the sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through, or about 3-5 minutes. (Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.) Occasionally baste the chicken with the sauce.
- Serve, garnished with fresh parsley, with cooked rice and steamed broccoli.
