Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy, and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Remove the chicken, then pour in 1 cup of chicken broth into the same skillet to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the prepared butter mixture until dissolved in the broth. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine.
  5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes until absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot.
