2 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temp should be 165°F). Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Stir in the butter mixture and cook until smooth.
Combine and Simmer: Return chicken to the skillet and coat with the sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve.
