Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  
  

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• 2 tablespoons butter
  
  

• 2 tablespoons honey
  
  

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  
  

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  
  

Directions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.
   
   

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
   
   

3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
   
   

4. Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the honey butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the sauce.
   
   

5. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
