Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Chicken thighs can also be used.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil May substitute with vegetable or avocado oil.

For the Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Margarine is a possible alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

For Deglazing and Garnishing

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, combine unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the boneless, skinless chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the butter mixture and cook until well combined and smooth.
  • Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coating each piece in the creamy butter sauce. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes for flavor infusion.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, rice, or a light salad!

Notes

Optional: Serve with a drizzle of extra honey for added sweetness. Enhance richness by adding heavy cream or coconut milk to the sauce.
