Ingredients

2 lbs chicken breast
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Marinate the chicken in a mixture of honey and lime juice for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil.
Add the chicken to the hot skillet, cooking until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for perfect doneness.
Rest the chicken for a few minutes before slicing, then serve.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider grilling the chicken instead of pan-searing.
