Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:
   • Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Brown the Chicken:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary, then sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
   • Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Stir in the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, chili flakes, and smoked paprika. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Thicken the Sauce:
   • Stir the cornstarch and water mixture into the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine Chicken and Sauce:
   • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well-coated and cooked through.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish the chicken with chopped parsley and sesame seeds before serving.
7. Serving Suggestions:
   • This mouth-watering chicken is perfect served over a bed of steamed rice or alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Tips for Success:

• Chicken Preparation: For even cooking, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before seasoning them.
• Adjusting the Heat: The chili flakes add a nice heat to the dish, but you can adjust the amount to suit your taste preferences.
• Sauce Variations: Feel free to add ingredients like ginger or orange zest to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
