Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 lbs)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 tablespoons honey
5 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (like Frank's or Tabasco brands)
fresh lemon juice (about 1 teaspoon or to taste) (optional)

Steps:

Pat the chicken dry. Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and using a mallet or a skillet, flatten each piece to an even thickness, between 1/4 and 1/2 inch. Season pieces on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add chicken and cook, turning as necessary, until cooked through, about 5 minutes or so.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine honey, pepper sauce and lemon juice, if using. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed.
Transfer chicken to cutting board and thinly slice each breast. Arrange the slices on individual plates and either drizzle with the sauce or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
