Ingredients
– 2 large chicken breasts (around 200g/7oz each)
– 3 tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
– ½ tsp salt
– ½ tsp black pepper
– ½ tsp paprika
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 120 ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
– 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice (juice from approx. 1.5 lemons)
– 3 tbsp honey
– 1 lemon sliced into half-moon slices
– 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
– spaghetti, linguine, or orzo for serving
Instructions
1-Start: Start by coating the chicken pieces with a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and paprika for a nice golden finish. Heat olive oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until the butter melts, which takes about a minute. Cook the chicken for 7-8 minutes, turning once, until it’s golden brown on both sides.
2-Next: add minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds, making sure it doesn’t burn. Then, pour in chicken stock, lemon juice, honey, and add the lemon half-moon slices. Bring everything to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
3-Finally: sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top and serve with spaghetti, linguine, or orzo for a complete meal.

🥄 Best served immediately, but can be refrigerated for up to one day and reheated gently with added chicken stock to loosen the sauce.
🌶 Chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts, and additional heat can be added with sweet chili sauce or sriracha.
🥦 Quick-cooking vegetables like mange tout, baby corn, or asparagus can be added to the pan for extra nutrition and color.
