Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

• 2 teaspoons water (if using cornstarch)

Optional Garnishes:

• Chopped green onions

• Sesame seeds

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

   • Place the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each chicken breast until lightly coated.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

   • Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and vinegar.

   • If using cornstarch, mix it with the water to create a slurry and add it to the skillet.

   • Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it slightly thickens.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them to coat in the sauce.

   • Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

   • Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

   • Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
