Honey Garlic Feast (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (500g total)
02 -
Pinch of salt, as much as you like
03 -
Freshly ground black pepper, adjusted to taste
04 -
1/4 cup plain flour or any standard variety on hand
05 -
50g (3 1/2 tbsp) butter, unsalted, or swap for 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
06 -
Couple of garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
07 -
1 1/2 tbsp of either apple cider or white vinegar (your pick)
08 -
1 tbsp light soy sauce or universal all-purpose option
09 -
1/3 cup honey or maple syrup for sweetness
# Instructions:
01 -
Take each chicken breast and carefully slice it in half horizontally to get four thin pieces. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
02 -
Spread the flour in a flat bowl or plate. Dip each piece of chicken in, making sure it's covered well but shaking off any extra.
03 -
Warm most of the butter in a big frying pan over high heat, saving a teaspoon for later. Lay the chicken in and cook one side for a couple of minutes till golden. Turn them over for a quick minute to finish.
04 -
Turn the heat to medium-high. Nudge the chicken to the edges of the pan and toss in the garlic and that saved butter. Stir it for a few moments to soften the garlic.
05 -
Pour in the honey, vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix it around and let it bubble up. Cook briefly till the mixture thickens just slightly — it won’t take long.
06 -
Flip the chicken around in the sauce so it's covered all over. If the sauce seems too thick, splash in some water in small amounts to loosen it up.
07 -
Take the pan off the heat. Serve the chicken and drizzle the leftover sauce on top for extra flavor before eating.
