Full Recipe:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)
Prepare the Butter Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Deglaze the Pan: In the same skillet, add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the Butter Mixture: Stir in the prepared butter mixture and cook until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken before serving. Enjoy with your choice of side dishes.
