How to Make Honey Butter Garlic Chicken

Rinse chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and melted butter in a bowl until well combined.
Marinate the chicken in a resealable bag or shallow dish with the marinade for at least 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Pour any leftover marinade over the chicken and simmer for an additional 5 minutes until it thickens.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh chicken breasts and high-quality honey. Aim for a smooth marinade for even coating. Letting the chicken marinate longer than one hour can enhance the flavor dramatically.
