Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/3 cup honey

Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into four thinner pieces. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Coat the chicken pieces evenly with 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Cook the floured chicken in the hot pan for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
