1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup honey
# How to Make It:
01 -
Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to yield 4 steaks. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
02 -
Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken piece in flour and shake off excess.

In a large skillet, melt most of the butter over high heat, reserving about 1 tsp for later. Add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes until golden, then flip and cook another minute.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium-high. Create space in the pan, add minced garlic and remaining butter. Stir garlic briefly until fragrant and butter melts.
05 -
Pour in apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir or gently shake the pan to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
06 -
Turn chicken pieces to coat evenly with the sauce. If sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of water and stir.
07 -
Remove skillet from heat. Plate the chicken and drizzle with remaining sauce.
