Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: lemon slices for extra zest
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes if desired. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Cook each side for 6–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey and simmer for 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spooning honey butter sauce over. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, ensuring chicken is coated and heated. Finish with lemon juice or slices if using.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve alongside vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or slices for brightness.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for more juiciness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in microwave or skillet.
