Equipment
- skillet
Ingredients
Chicken
- 500 g boneless and skinless chicken breast 2 pieces
- Salt
- Pepper
- ¼ cup flour Note 1
- 3 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter or 2 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white or other clear vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light or all purpose (Note 2)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.
- Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat - hold back about 1 teaspoon for later.
- Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
- Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
- Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.
- Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
- Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.
- Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.
Notes
Gluten free - use cornflour / cornstarch instead. It won't brown quite as evenly but once covered in sauce, you won't know the difference. Light or all purpose soy sauce is suitable for this recipe. Other proteins: This sauce is ideal to use for any protein that is suitable for searing in a pan.
