Instruções

PREP CHICKEN

Hold your knife parallel to the cutting board and carefully slice the chicken from right to left (if you're a righty)... opening the chicken breast up like a book. Slice all the way through, so you now have 4 thinly sliced pieces of chicken.

Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika and blackening seasoning (if using).

DREDGE CHICKEN

Add flour to shallow bowl or dish and add chicken to top of flour, press lightly, then turn chicken and press into the flour on the other side. Then shake off excess and set aside to a plate.

SEAR CHICKEN

Add oil to large oven-safe skillet (I use cast iron) and heat over MED HIGH heat. Add chicken and cook about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden. Remove to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

MAKE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE

Reduce heat to MED. Add butter and melt. Add garlic and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, cooking about 30 seconds.

Add honey, soy sauce, water, sriracha and lemon juice and whisk to combine well.

Let mixture simmer for about 4 minutes, or until sauce thickens into a spoonable glaze, like warm honey.

RETURN CHICKEN AND BROIL

While sauce is thickening, preheat broiler to high.

Add chicken back to the skillet, and spoon sauce over the chicken, turning to coat.

Add skillet to oven and broil for 1-2 minutes, until sticky and slightly caramelized.

SERVE

Serve hot, with a spoonful of extra sauce drizzled over the top and garnished with minced fresh parsley.
