Honey Lemon Chicken

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (≈200 g each), sliced in half for 4 cutlets
3 tbsp plain flour (seasoned with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and optional paprika)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
120 ml low-sodium chicken stock
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice (≈1½ lemons)
3 tbsp honey
Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for finishing)

How to preprare

Toss chicken cutlets in seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan over medium–high heat. Fry chicken until golden (about 7–8 minutes total), then set aside.
In the same pan, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add stock, lemon juice, honey, and remaining butter; stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
Return chicken to the pan and cook for 3–5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the chicken well. If using, add lemon slices in the last minute.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot, ideally over rice or alongside steamed greens.

Note

For fewer calories, swap out a portion of honey for a squeeze of extra lemon and finish the sauce with 0% Greek yoghurt instead of butter for a creamy, tangy twist.
