Description
A deliciously sweet and savory chicken dish with a rich honey butter glaze, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s bubbly but not burnt, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Pour the honey over the chicken and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, then serve warm.
Notes
For a crisper exterior, pat the chicken dry before seasoning. Add chicken stock to the glaze if too thick.
