Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the chicken by whisking together apple cider, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and thyme. Submerge the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably up to 4 hours.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the marinated chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and bring to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened and glossy.
  4. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coat well with the glaze, and let it simmer for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.
  5. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for about 3 minutes. Slice if desired and serve with the remaining glaze.
