Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
4. Glaze the Chicken:
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat evenly. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
