Scale

500g / 1 lb chicken breast

boneless and skinless (2 pieces)

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup flour

3 1/2 tbsp (50g) unsalted butter (or 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil)

2 garlic cloves

minced

1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or white or other clear vinegar)

1 tbsp soy sauce

light or all purpose

1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter (or heat olive oil) until sizzling.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, mixing until well combined.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the sauce drizzled on top.

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the honey garlic mixture for a few hours before cooking.
