How To Make Honey Glazed Chicken:

  1. Whisk honey, soy sauce, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and salt together in a medium sized bowl that has a lid.
  2. Put boneless skinless chicken into the marinade and refrigerate.  If you are crunched for time, 15 minutes will do otherwise a few hours is better to let it the chicken absorb more flavor.
  3. Cook chicken in a hot pan with oil to searing on both sides, about a min each side. Then turn the heat down.
  4. Pour the extra marinade into pan the pan and add a tablespoon of butter.  Add 2 Tablespoons of apple juice, for extra sweetness and color.
  5. Cook for about 5 minutes longer on each side or until done all the way through which will depend on the thickness of the chicken breast.
  6. Serve the simple honey apple chicken with rice and veggies or other side dishes of your choice such as kale and collard greens or a carrot souffle.
