Instructions
Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner pieces.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then coat with flour and shake off excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
Reduce heat to medium, add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté ~30 seconds until fragrant.
Add vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir and bring to simmer for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to pan and coat with sauce. Simmer 1–2 more minutes.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Spoon extra sauce over chicken.

You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs, prawns, tofu, or even fish as needed. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat gently.
