Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 6oz each)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter; sear chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining butter, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce to the pan.
4. Spoon the bubbling sauce over the chicken continuously for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glaze.
5. Remove chicken from heat once a meat thermometer reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the juices locked in.
