1-Getting started with Honey Garlic Chicken is straightforward and fun. Begin by prepping your ingredients to keep things organized. This recipe uses basic steps that anyone can follow, even if you’re new to the kitchen.

2-First, cut the chicken breasts horizontally in half to make 4 pieces total, then season them with salt and pepper. Next, coat the pieces in flour, shaking off any excess to avoid a heavy coating. Heat most of the butter or oil in a skillet over high heat, saving about 1 tsp for later.

3-Now, cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes until it’s golden on one side, then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to medium-high and make space in the pan to add the garlic and remaining butter, stirring briefly once it melts. Pour in the vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, mixing everything together by stirring or shaking the pan.

4-Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens a bit. Turn the chicken to coat it evenly in the sauce; if it gets too thick, add a little water and stir. Finally, remove from heat and serve with the sauce drizzled over the top for that perfect finish.
