Ingredients
- 4 thin-sliced boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika see note
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 10-12 cranks fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium preferred
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1-2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- parsley fresh or dried, for an optional garnish
Instructions
- Season chicken on both sides with an even sprinkling of paprika, salt, and pepper. Place flour in a small plate.
- Whisk together the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup; set aside.
- Warm olive oil in a medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil heats up, dredge chicken through the flour on both sides. Shake gently to remove any excess, then add chicken to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown on the outside and almost, but not quite fully cooked through.
- When chicken is nearly done, reduce heat to medium and pour sauce evenly on top. Let the sauce bubble for about 1 minute, while drizzling spoonfuls from the bottom of the skillet over the chicken. If the sauce gets too thick, add a few drops of water.
- Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve right away.
Notes
- You can use either sweet or smoky paprika for this recipe. My kids prefer sweet paprika, so that's our go-to.
