Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Sauce
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- ½ cup Chicken Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the chicken.
- Cook the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until they are well seared and nicely browned.
- Add the sauce ingredients: Add the butter, honey, and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken. Stir the ingredients together to combine and create the sauce.
- Simmer the chicken: Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, indicating it is fully cooked through.
- Rest the chicken: Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest in the sauce for 5 minutes. This helps the flavors to meld and the chicken to remain juicy.
- Serve: Plate the chicken breasts and generously spoon the buttery sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
- You can serve this dish with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables to complete the meal.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer after removing the chicken.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and visual appeal.
