Ingredients
- 1/3 cup hot honey or honey of choice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce, or liquid aminos
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, or 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup flour or gluten-free flour of choice
- 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, water, garlic, vinegar, and tamari. Set aside.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the flour in a shallow dish, add the chicken and turn to coat both sides. Shake off excess flour.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Add the honey mixture and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F) and the sauce has thickened and reduced to a dark glaze (add a little water if needed during cooking). As the chicken cooks, flip it regularly and swirl it around in the honey mixture so it gets nicely coated with the glaze.
