Dredge in Flour
Place 60 g (about 1/4 cup) of flour in a shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast in the flour and shake off any excess so only a thin, even layer remains.

Sear the Chicken
Melt 3 tbsp of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the flour-coated chicken breasts and fry over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until the bottom side is golden brown.

Flip and Add Garlic
Flip each chicken breast and fry the other side for 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp of butter to the pan, then add the 4 cloves of garlic and stir briefly to coat in the butter.

Make the Glaze
Pour in 90 g of honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats the chicken in a glossy glaze.
