Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides evenly with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Coat thoroughly with the honey garlic sauce and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds before serving.
