Equipment

- Tongs to flip and handle chicken
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove to a plate and rest.
