Chicken Breasts are all about contrast: super crunchy, golden chicken cutlets on the outside, juicy and tender on the
inside, finished with a honey garlic sauce that’s sweet, savory, and lightly tangy. It tastes like a restaurant-style
favorite, but it’s totally doable at home—no complicated steps, just smart technique.
