# How to Make It:
01 -
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Place flour in a shallow dish for dredging.
02 -
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat chicken in flour and place directly into hot skillet. Cook undisturbed until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and brown the other side for approximately 5 minutes.
04 -
Pour sauce into skillet and gently shake to distribute throughout the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3 minutes. Flip chicken, coating pieces in sauce. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened. Add a splash of water if sauce becomes too thick.
05 -
Transfer chicken to serving plates, spooning additional sauce over top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
If using previously frozen chicken breasts, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry with paper towels to help flour adhere properly.
02 -
For spicy variation, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
03 -
For even cooking, ensure chicken breasts are uniform in thickness.
04 -
For thinner cutlets, slice large chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
05 -
Use a large skillet to prevent overcrowding, which ensures proper searing rather than steaming.
