Ingredients

Base

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter, divided

Sauce

6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar

1/3 cup honey

Seasonings & Garnish

Kosher salt to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into thin cutlets or leave them whole. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  • Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden.

  • Add Sauce Ingredients: Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened slightly.

  • Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return chicken to the skillet, coating with sauce. Add the remaining butter and stir until melted, making the sauce glossy.

  • Serve: Transfer to a plate and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to restore the sauce’s consistency.

Variations: Add vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra texture. For a spicy kick, include red pepper flakes or sriracha.
