Description
Crispy chicken cutlets drizzled with a spicy-sweet hot honey glaze, perfect for a quick flavor boost.
Ingredients
- Boneless and skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- Hot honey or honey mixed with red pepper flakes
- Fresh garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh or dried herbs (thyme or rosemary)
- Olive oil
- Optional: fresh lemon juice and green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by flattening cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap with a meat mallet.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the hot honey glaze by mixing honey, chopped garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, basting with the hot honey glaze during the last minute.

Notes
For a richer flavor, smoked paprika can be used instead of herbs. Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
