Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 to 2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Pound chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per side or until deeply golden and cooked through to 165°F.
  3. Reduce heat to low, remove excess oil, and add honey, chili flakes, and vinegar. Whisk and simmer 30 seconds until slightly thickened, then return chicken and spoon glaze over, cooking 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Plate the chicken and drizzle the remaining glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

The glaze thickens quickly, so keep the heat low. If it begins to darken too fast, pull the skillet off the heat for a moment while you finish coating the chicken.
