Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the 2 eggs.

  3. In another bowl, combine the 60g plain flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp paprika.

  4. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg wash, then dredge them in the seasoned flour mixture until well coated.

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.

  6. Wipe out the pan if necessary, then melt 25g of butter over medium heat.

  7. Add the 6 chopped cloves of garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  8. Stir in 2 tbsp cider vinegar, 4 tbsp soy sauce, and 100g honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  9. Let the sauce bubble and reduce slightly until it becomes syrupy.

  10. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss thoroughly to coat every piece in the honey garlic sauce.

  11. Garnish with 10g of chopped parsley and serve immediately.
