Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and promotes even cooking.
  2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
  3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. This will prevent the chicken from sticking and helps create a nice sear.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Make the Butter Sauce: Lower the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the honey and chicken broth. Cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping any browned bits from the pan to incorporate into the sauce.
  6. Combine and Simmer: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the butter sauce over them. Let everything simmer together for an additional 2 minutes to meld the flavors and reheat the chicken.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the skillet for freshness and color. Serve the butter chicken hot, ideally with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning blend and honey for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with white wine or vegetable broth.
  • Use salted butter if unsalted is unavailable, but reduce added salt accordingly.
  • Ensure not to overcook the chicken to maintain juiciness.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
