Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • parsley, sliced green onions (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 TBSP olive oil. Add 1/2 TBSP butter to melt. When the skillet is hot, add 4 sliced chicken breasts, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and brown each side for 3 - 4 minutes, until golden and seared. Transfer the chicken to a greased baking pan. Repeat with the remaining 4 breast pieces.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 2 TBSP butter. Stir in the garlic and cook until garlic is golden brown. Add in the brown sugar, red pepper flakes and honey, bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • Spoon the honey and garlic mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
  • Place the baking pan on the center rack of preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and a meat thermometer placed in the thickest part of the breast reads at least 165°F.
  • Spoon sauce drippings over the chicken breasts, garnish with parsley flakes and serve hot.
