Instructions

Step 1: Season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), then transfer to a plate.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice; cook for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the glaze over them, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, turning to coat evenly before serving.
