Prepare the chicken: With a sharp knife slice the top of the chicken breast into criss-cross pattern. Season all sides with salt and pepper.
14 ounces chicken breast
Coat in flour: Lightly dip the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

Sear the chicken: Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
1 ½ tablespoons cooking oil
Add sauce ingredients: Reduce the heat and butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, lemon juice, and ginger (if using) to the skillet.
1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon ginger, 2 tablespoons butter
Simmer: Stir everything together, cover with a lid, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, flipping the chicken just once.
