Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g chicken breast, boneless and skinless (2 pieces)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ¼ cup flour (Note 1)
  • 3 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter (or 2 ½ tablespoon olive oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white or other clear vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, light or all purpose (Note 2)
  • ⅓ cup honey (or maple syrup)

Instructions
 

  • Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
  • Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat - hold back about 1 teaspoon for later.
  • Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  • Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
  • Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
  • Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
  • Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
  • Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.

Notes

Use gluten-free flour for an alternative. This sauce works well with various proteins, including beef, pork, and tofu.
