1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts.
3. Brown the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.

6. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over it. Cook together for an additional 5 minutes.
7. Check for Zest: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more honey for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness.
