Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended, creating a rich sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and keep warm.
  3. Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
  4. Stir the butter mixture into the skillet with the boiling chicken broth and mix until smooth and bubbling. This will take about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, spooning the buttery sauce over the pieces. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with parsley. Serve hot with sides like cauliflower rice or a salad.
