Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 4 chicken breasts about 5 oz each
- 2 Teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Sauce:
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Heat the 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the 4 chicken breasts with Kosher salt and ground pepper and 2 Teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides.
- Cook over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Set aside and cover to keep warm. About 5-6 minutes on each side.
- Next, to the same preheated skillet, make the sauce: add the 4 garlic cloves and cook for no more than 1 minute. Add the 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup honey and whisk well, or until no visible lumps.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon over the honey garlic sauce. Continue to cook for a minute or two, just until hot.
- Serve immediately garnished with 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.

Notes
- chicken: I love using chicken breasts since they are leaner but if you are a fan of chicken thighs and you aren't counting macros, you can use boneless chicken thighs.
- broth: the recipe is that of chicken so I used chicken broth. you may use vegetable broth.
- please use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder
- all-purpose or whole wheat flour can be used instead of gluten-free flour. Alternatively, you may use cornstarch in place of the flour.
- do not overcook the chicken breast to prevent them from drying out and get that rubbery texture.
