- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast about 3 large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- In a small bowl, make the sauce by whisking together honey, chicken broth, vinegar, red pepper flakes and soy sauce. Set aside until ready to use.
- Lightly pound chicken breasts to make them an even thickness.
- Mix salt, pepper and garlic powder together in a small bowl, then sprinkle on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange chicken in the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
- Make a little room in the center of the pan and add a teaspoon of olive oil and the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour in the sauce and swirl around the pan. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook for 1 minute or until thickened. Turn the chicken to coat with the sauce.
