Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add chicken, cooking until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side.

Notes
Make sure the chicken is fully coated in the honey sauce for the best flavor. You can add a splash of lemon juice for a tangy twist! If you like it spicy, a dash of red pepper flakes can add some heat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
