Instructions

Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken breasts for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internally). Remove and set aside.
Deglaze: In the same skillet, pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits.
Finish the sauce: Stir in the butter mixture and cook until smooth.
Combine: Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and simmer for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk to the sauce.
Spice it up with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
Great served with mashed potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice.
