Full Recipe:
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts – 4
Flour – 4 tablespoons
Corn starch – 1 tablespoon
Paprika – 1 teaspoon
Dried oregano – 1 teaspoon
Butter – 50 g
Garlic – 4 cloves, minced
Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons
Honey – 1 teaspoon
Sweet peppers – 2, sliced
Fresh parsley – a small bunch, chopped
Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
Salt – to taste
Black pepper – to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Rub the spices into the chicken to ensure they are well-coated.
In a shallow dish, mix 4 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Cover it loosely with foil to keep it warm.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
