Instructions

Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness for uniform cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and apple cider vinegar.
Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the chicken.
Let the sauce simmer and thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes. If using cornstarch, mix it with water and stir into the sauce to thicken further.
Turn the chicken to coat evenly in the sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.
Double the sauce for extra glaze or to serve over rice.
Can be served with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
