### 👩🍳 How to Make Honey Garlic Chicken Breast
#### 1. **Prepare the Chicken**
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
#### 2. **Sear the Chicken**
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil or butter. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
#### 3. **Make the Honey Garlic Sauce**
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it!). Stir in honey, soy sauce, and optional vinegar or lemon juice. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
#### 4. **Glaze the Chicken**
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, spooning the honey garlic sauce over it. Let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the glaze to coat the chicken beautifully.
#### 5. **Serve**
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Serve with rice, steamed vegetables, or over noodles for a complete meal.
