Description

Ingredients

• 2 small chicken breasts - 1lb/500g in total, at room temperature
• Salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp plain flour
• ¼ tsp each onion and garlic powder (optional - extra flavour)
• 1½ tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• ¾ cup chicken broth / stock
• 3 tbsp honey
• ¼ cup lemon juice (fresh)
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Lemon slices
• Finely chopped parsley

Directions

• Slice each chicken breast horizontally to form 4 steaks in total. OPTIONAL: Pound to even thickness about 1cm/ 2/5 thick.
• Sprinkle each side generously with salt and pepper.
• Combine flour, onion and garlic powder (if using) on a plate. Coat the chicken in the flour, shaking off excess. SAVE FLOUR (step 7)
• Place butter, oil and garlic in a skillet over medium high heat until butter is melted and hot. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side until golden brown, then transfer onto a plate to rest.
• Turn heat down to medium high and return skillet to stove. Add chicken broth / stock and bring to simmer. Use a spatula to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the liquid.
• Add remaining ingredients, mix and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
• OPTIONAL: Mix ½ tsp of flour from step 2 with a splash of water. Add to the pan (to thicken the sauce slightly).
• Add salt and pepper to the sauce to taste. Return the chicken to the pan for 30 seconds (with lemon slices if using), turning to coat in the sauce.
• Serve chicken with plenty of sauce!
