Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken fillets
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Can substitute with coconut oil for dairy-free option
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Measure out the honey, butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set the chicken fillets aside.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cooking

  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until just melted.
  • Stir in the honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let this mixture blend together and bubble slightly.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken fillets to the skillet and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish.
  • Drizzle the honey and butter mixture over the chicken fillets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
  • Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad. Allowing to marinate the chicken in honey butter for an hour before cooking can enhance flavor.
