Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken Breasts Consider chicken thighs for extra moisture.
  • ½ cup Flour Swap with gluten-free flour or cornstarch if needed.
For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Choose unsalted for better seasoning control.
  • 4 cloves Garlic Fresh cloves provide the best aromatic depth.
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Balances sweetness, enhancing flavors.
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce Opt for low-sodium for a healthier touch.

Equipment

  • skillet
  • large plate

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by slicing the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner steaks. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. On a large plate, sprinkle some flour evenly. Dredge each chicken piece in flour and shake off excess.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Place the coated chicken in the skillet, searing for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Create a space in the skillet and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir to combine, scraping up browned bits, and allow to simmer for about a minute.
  6. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coat it well with the sauce, and adjust the consistency with a splash of water if necessary.
