Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Coat each piece in flour, shaking off any excess. This step ensures a golden crust and helps thicken the sauce.
Cook the Chicken:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Make the Glaze:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the ground black pepper, soy sauce, vinegar, and honey. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Glaze the Chicken:
Return the chicken breasts to the pan, coating each piece with the honey garlic glaze.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated and the glaze is caramelized.
Serve:
Plate the chicken breasts and drizzle any remaining glaze over them.
Optionally, garnish with additional black pepper or fresh herbs.
