Enjoy tender, seasoned chicken breasts with an easy-to-make honey garlic glaze that's sticky, sweet and savory all at once. Quick, too!

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.
