Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a skillet, heat olive oil and brown the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side.
Remove chicken and in the same skillet, melt the butter.
Stir in honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla; cook for 1–2 minutes.
Return chicken to skillet, coating it with the butter mixture.

Notes

Always season your chicken well before browning to enhance its flavor. Use unsalted butter for better control of seasoning. Baste the chicken halfway through roasting time for juiciness.
