Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Place chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  4. Step 4: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the honey glaze over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning the chicken to coat evenly with the glaze.
  5. Step 5: Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of the honey glaze.
