Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick, and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and honey. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let everything heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
