2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken
   Season the sliced chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the Chicken
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   In the same pan, add butter.
   Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 4–6 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
4. Add Garlic

5. Make the Sauce
   Pour in honey and soy sauce.
   Stir well and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
