Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g chicken breast boneless and skinless
  • salt
  • pepper
  • ¼ cup flour or cornflour for gluten-free
  • 3.5 tablespoon unsalted butter or 2 ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce light or all purpose
  • ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
  • Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat – hold back about 1 teaspoon for later.
  • Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  • Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
  • Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
  • Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
  • Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
  • Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.

Notes

For gluten-free, use cornflour instead of flour. Sauce is versatile and can be used with various proteins like tofu, shrimp, or fish.
