- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Dust them lightly with flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
- Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece to coat evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to ensure the chicken is well-glazed and heated through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Remember, the key to a perfect glaze is patience. Allow the sauce to thicken just enough to stick to the chicken without becoming too syrupy.
