Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet.

  2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add the honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine and let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes until it slightly thickens.

  5. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning them to coat evenly in the lemon honey sauce. Add the lemon slices on top of the chicken.

  6. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to soak up the delicious lemony sweetness.

  7. Once the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the flavorful sauce, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley.
