Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs for added moisture
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
For the Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or margarine
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For Finishing Touches
  • 1 cup chicken broth homemade or low-sodium for best results
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • small bowl
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to deglaze the skillet. Let simmer for about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir the reserved butter mixture into the skillet until it melts and creates a smooth sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating in the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with side dishes.
