Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)

¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Cooking Instructions

Prepare Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned for balanced flavor.
Sear Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on each side until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking.
Prepare Glaze

In a small bowl, mix honey and red pepper flakes. Reduce the skillet to medium heat and pour the glaze over the chicken, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens.

Keep stirring to avoid burning the honey.
Serve Chicken

Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Resting the meat ensures juices are distributed evenly.
