I may or may not be stuffing my face with this meal as I type this post.
I love honey and I love butter. Combine the two over some pan-fried chicken and I'm a happy eater. This dish is one of my favorite go-tos because it's tasty and easy; I probably make it every couple weeks.
We used to serve this at my parents' restaurant as a weekly special, except the chicken was breaded with real breadcrumbs and it was deep-fried. Whenever I made it for myself, I quadrupled the amount of honey butter that went on my chicken. I liked to eat things super extra fatty and my sweet tooth was off the chain.
This is my own spin on the dish. Pan-fried instead of deep-fried and I use seasoned almond meal as the breading. I debated quadrupling the honey butter, but I decided to just let 16 year old me enjoy it instead.
This recipe is enough to make four servings (or less if you're really hungry). Serve with whatever sides you'd like! I ate mine with steamed broccoli and apple stuffed buttercup squash. Oh, yes.
