Description
Quick and flavorful chicken cutlets glazed with a sweet and tangy garlic-honey sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights, and easily adaptable to gluten-free or dairy-free preferences.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb or 500g)
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ cup flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
- 3½ tbsp unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1½ tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- ⅓ cup honey
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
- In a skillet, melt most of the butter over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken for 2–3 minutes on one side, flip and cook for 1 more minute.
- Push chicken to one side, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir and simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Coat the chicken thoroughly with the sauce, remove from heat, and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with rice, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes. For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sauce. Can be made dairy-free using olive oil instead of butter.
