Description
A rich, syrupy-honey glazed chicken dish with a caramelized butter base and aromatic garlic. Crispy-skinned and tender, this stovetop skillet meal balances sweet and savory flavors perfectly.
Ingredients
Boneless Chicken Breasts (4, 6 oz each)
Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup)
Granulated Garlic (1 tsp)
Dark Honey (1/4 cup)
Chicken Broth (1/2 cup) [or water for low sodium]
Salt (1 tsp, plus extra as needed) [total]
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels
Season both sides with salt and pepper
Melt half the butter in a cold skillet over medium heat
Add garlic to melted butter; cook 30 seconds until fragrant
Sear chicken skin-side down for 5 minutes; flip and cook 5 more minutes
Mix honey and broth; pour into pan
Simmer 5-7 minutes until glaze forms
Raise heat to high to reduce sauce rapidly before plating
Notes
Use a cold skillet with butter to prevent sticking
Let garlic infuse 30 seconds in butter before adding chicken
Dark honey enhances caramelization
Reserve 1 tbsp butter for glossy final sauce
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain sauce concentration
