Step 1: Make the Butter Mixture

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp: 165°F).

3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil.

Step 3: Make the Butter Sauce

1. Pour chicken broth into the same skillet.

2. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan – this adds major flavor.

3. Stir in the prepared butter mixture. Let it melt and simmer for 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4: Return Chicken to Skillet

• Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet.

• Spoon the buttery sauce over each piece until fully coated.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

• Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

• Serve hot with your favorite side dishes
