Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter Softened for easier mixing
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Preparation
- In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cooking
- In the same skillet, add chicken broth to deglaze the pan.
- Stir in the butter mixture and cook until smooth.
- Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors.

Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the butter mixture for a few hours before cooking. Check the internal temperature to ensure it is fully cooked. You can add your favorite vegetables for a one-pan meal.
