Instructions

Step 1: Season & Coat the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Dredge each piece in flour and shake off the excess.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Base
In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant (do not brown).

Add soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and ground black pepper to the pan.
Stir well and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5: Glaze the Chicken
Return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Spoon the glaze over each piece and let cook for another 2–3 minutes until well coated and caramelized.
