- 4 pieces chicken escalopes Thin-sliced chicken breasts can also be used.

Instructions
Cooking
- In a large pan, heat some oil over medium heat for about 1–2 minutes until shimmering.
- Season the chicken escalopes with salt and pepper after patting them dry.
- Add chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- In a small bowl, mix together honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through.

Notes
Do not overcrowd the pan to get a nice caramelized crust. The chicken can be reheated gently, and leftovers are great for sandwiches or salads. Consider batch cooking to save time.
