Honey Garlic Butter Chicken

Ingredients — Serves 4
800 g chicken breasts or boneless chicken thighs
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
5 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation
Cut the chicken into medium-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic.
Cook for about 1 minute, stirring gently until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
Toss the chicken thoroughly to coat it in the sauce.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce and become thick, glossy, and caramelized.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
