Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 tsp honey 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor) 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish) Instructions: Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using. Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). Make the Butter Sauce:
While the chicken is cooking, mix the softened butter with honey in a small bowl. Once the chicken is fully cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the butter-honey mixture to the skillet. Spoon the melted butter sauce over the chicken, letting it coat evenly for about 1-2 minutes. Serve:
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables. Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes | Total Time: 22 minutes Kcal: Approx. 350 per serving | Servings: 4
