Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skin-on chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp sea or kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lime cut into 4 wedges
  • 2 Tbsp chopped parsley for garnish
  • For the sauce:
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce mild, or 2 Tbsp for medium and 3 Tbsp for hot
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large (12") cast iron pan. When butter turns dark brown, place chicken breasts skin side down on the pan and sear over high heat for 2 minutes. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes. Pour the sauce all over the chicken breasts. Lower heat to low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, brushing the sauce over chicken tops every 5 minutes or so.
  • Once the chicken breasts have cooked through - juices run clear and internal temperatures has reached 160F, remove chicken breasts from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve with lime wedges, chopped parsley and the pan sauce which should be poured over sliced chicken breasts.
