📝 Preparation Steps
1
Score the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and score the top in a shallow diamond pattern, cutting about ⅓ of the way through (don’t cut all the way through).

2
Season and Dredge: Season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour, pressing it into the scored grooves, then shake off the excess.
3
Sear the Chicken: Set a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter, swirling the pan as it melts to prevent splatter. Add the chicken, scored-side down, and cook 5–⏱️ 6 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another ⏱️ 4 minutes, or until nearly cooked through. They will finish cooking as they simmer in the sauce.

Add Garlic and Glaze: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the garlic to the pan and sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Let the sauce simmer 2–⏱️ 3 minutes until thickened, spooning it over the chicken as it cooks. The thickest part of the chicken should reach 165˚F.
