Score the chicken breasts diagonally on both sides to create a cubed effect.

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, and hot pepper flakes (optional).

Dredge the seasoned chicken in flour until completely coated on both sides and set aside on a plate.

In a pan over medium-high heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the chicken to the pan and cook on both sides until seared and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Move the chicken to the back of the pan and add 2 more tablespoons of unsalted butter and a bit more olive oil.

Add 4 cloves of chopped garlic to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Flip the chicken around in the sauce to ensure it is well coated and begins to caramelize.

Plate the chicken and drizzle more sauce over the top, garnishing with dried parsley.
