Garlic Butter Maple‑Soy Glazed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lb total, sliced into 1‑inch strips)
• 1 teaspoon Pink Himalayan sea salt (or regular kosher salt)
• ½ teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup All‑purpose flour (for light dredging)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (2 Tbsp for searing, 1 Tbsp added to glaze)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (low‑sodium preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (thinly sliced, garnish)

Instructions

1. Slice the chicken

   Place each chicken breast on the cutting board and cut into 1‑inch wide strips (like slicing a mango).

   Time: PT2M

2. Season and flour

   Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge them in the flour, shaking off excess.

   Time: PT2M

3. Heat the pan

   Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 2 Tbsp butter to the skillet and heat over medium‑high until the butter foams and the oil shimmers.

   Time: PT2M

4. Sear the chicken

   Add the floured chicken strips in a single layer. Cook 3 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook another 3 minutes until golden brown.

   Time: PT6M

5. Add garlic

   Push the chicken to the side of the pan, add the minced garlic to the empty space, and sauté for about 90 seconds until just lightly golden.

   Time: PT2M

6. Make the glaze

   Stir in 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, and the remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Mix to combine.

   Time: PT1M

7. Reduce the sauce

   Increase heat to medium‑high and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and becomes glossy, about 3 minutes.

   Time: PT3M

8. Prepare chives

   While the sauce reduces, slice fresh chives. For easier handling, wrap the bunch in a damp paper towel before slicing.

   Time: PT1M

9. Finish and serve

   Turn off the heat, toss the chicken strips in the thickened glaze to coat, plate, and garnish with the sliced chives. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
