Ingredients
– 500g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breast (2 pieces)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/4 cup flour (cornflour/cornstarch can be used for gluten-free)
– 3 1/2 tbsp (50g) unsalted butter or 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white/clear vinegar)
– 1 tbsp light or all-purpose soy sauce (avoid dark soy sauce)
– 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
1-Heat most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat, reserving about 1 tsp for later.
2-Cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes until golden on one side, then turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
3-Reduce the heat slightly to medium-high, push the chicken aside, add the minced garlic and reserved butter, and stir until the garlic is fragrant and the butter melts.
4-Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and honey; stir and bring to a simmer for about 1 minute or until the sauce thickens slightly.
5-Turn the chicken pieces to coat them thoroughly in the sauce, and if it gets too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it up.
6-Remove from heat, plate the chicken, and drizzle with any remaining sauce for the perfect finish.
