- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together the honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Sauté the chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side.
