  • 2 tablespoons honey Introduces a touch of natural sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic is a great alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Regular paprika can be used but will have less pronounced smokiness.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances all flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds gentle heat.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Homemade or store-bought works perfectly.
For Garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Once shimmering, add chicken breasts, searing for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  3. Pour chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up flavorful bits. Allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir the butter mixture into the chicken broth, mixing until smooth. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened and fragrant.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet, coating well with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with steamed vegetables or salad.
