Since I had four beautiful chicken filet breasts in my refrigerator, I was motivated!

While I didn't have all the ingredients that Rock used, I decided rather than run to the grocery store, I'd 'boho' it with my tweaks and hope for the best!

Instructions
- In a medium size saucepan over medium heat, put olive oil and garlic and sauté just til tender-do no burn. Reduce heat to medium low and add honey, agave, pepper jelly, soy sauce, and pepper. Bring to a low simmering boil (watch closely as it can overflow!) for about 10 minutes. Mixture will begin to thicken. Turn off heat and let sit.
- Prepare flour dredge by putting all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Combine eggs and water and beat. Put mixture in a pie plate.
- Put about 1 cup of the flour mixture in a pie plate. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts.
- Dip breast in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour, return to the egg mixture, and then re-coat in the flour mixture. Place on a clean plate. Repeat with the other chicken breasts.
- In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, get the coconut oil (about ½ inch deep) hot. Place two to three filet breasts in. Do not crowd. Fry about 3 minutes, flip to the other side and fry another about 2-3 minutes. (Cooking time will depend upon the thickness of your breast filets.)
- Place the chicken on a parchment-paper lined cookie sheet and baking about 18-20 minutes at preheated 350 oven. Internal temperature should be 165. Check with a meat thermometer.
- When done, remove. Let the chicken rest 2-3 minutes.
- Place the chicken in a serving dish (about 2" deep). Pour on most of the sauce (leaving some for serving). Drench chicken well. Garnish with fresh chives or thinly sliced green onions.
- Serve immediately with extra sauce!
