Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 2 tsp honey
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Make the Sauce Base:
   In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

   Remove chicken from skillet. Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Stir in butter mixture until smooth.
4. Finish in the Sauce:
   Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer 2–3 more minutes so the flavors meld and thicken slightly.
5. Garnish & Serve:
   Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides

Pro Tips:

• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne or red chili flakes for a kick
