Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 2. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside. 3. In the same skillet, add the diced apple and grated carrot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened. 4. Pour in the beer and honey, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes. 5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the glaze over it. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. 6.
