Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce
- Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Pour the mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine.
Combine and Simmer
