Instructions
- Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Step 3: Remove chicken to a plate and reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant — avoid browning.
- Step 4: Stir in 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp edible dried rose petals. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly and the rose petals soften.
- Step 5: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the honey-rose glaze over them for 1 minute to coat and warm through.
- Step 6: Serve the chicken with the glaze drizzled on top, garnished with a few extra rose petals if desired.
