4 servings

- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp honey

Instructions

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels, then season both sides with the salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the foam subsides. Add the chicken and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
