Honey Butter Garlic Chicken

• 600 g (1.3 lb) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1/2 cup flour
• 50 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 250 ml (1 cup) chicken stock

salt + pepper

• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

How to

1. Cut the chicken horizontally into thin slices. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour.
2. Heat 1/3 of butter and olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-low until the butter has melted. Cook the chicken in batches, add 1/2 of the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Place on a plate and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and finish cooking the 2nd batch of chicken. Place on a plate and set aside.
3. Add 1 tbsp of butter, add garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the soy sauce, honey and lemon juice. Add chicken stock and the remaining butter. Simmer until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, season with salt, pepper and chili flakes. Add chopped parsley. Return chicken to skillet, turn over to coat both sides of chicken with sauce. Cook for 1 minute or until chicken is heated through. Serve immediately with rice, fried noodles or alongside your favorite salad. Make sure to watch my step-by-step video: How to make this honey garlic chicken.
