Cut breasts in half horizontally to create 4 pieces total; sprinkle each side with salt and pepper, to taste.
Place flour in a shallow dish; coat chicken in flour; shake off excess.
Melt all but 1 t. butter in a large skillet over high heat; set aside the 1 t. butter for later use.
Place chicken in skillet; cook for 2 - 3 minutes until golden; turn over; cook 1 minute more. Turn heat down slightly to medium high.
Make a bit of room in the pan; add garlic; top with remaining butter; stir garlic when butter melts. Add vinegar, soy sauce and honey; stir to combine; bring sauce to simmer; simmer for 1 minute or until slightly thickened. Turn chicken to coat in sauce. If sauce gets too thick, add a touch of water; stir. Remove from heat immediately.
Place chicken on plates or a platter; drizzle on remaining sauce.
