Honey Garlic Chicken Breast

Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast , boneless and skinless (2 large breasts or 4 small)
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup flour 
3.5 tbsp unsalted butter (or 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil)
2 garlic cloves , minced
1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar 
1 tbsp soy sauce , light or all purpose 
1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup)
Directions
If large, cut the breasts in half horizontally to create 4 steaks in total. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.  Place flour in a shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour and shake off excess.

Melt most of the butter in a large skillet over high heat - hold back about 1 tsp for later.  Place chicken in skillet and cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.

Turn heat down slightly to medium high.  Make a bit of room in the pan and add garlic and top with remaining dab of butter. Stir garlic briefly once butter melts.  Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey. Stir / shake pan to combine. Bring sauce to simmer, then simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.

Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water and stir.  Remove from stove immediately. Place chicken on plates and drizzle over remaining sauce.
