Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice baguette on a sharp angle into 1/3-inch-thick pieces. Brush both sides lightly with oil.

  2. Step 2

    Toast bread slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 90 seconds per side, until golden and crisp. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Sear in the same skillet over medium-high, 5 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden. Transfer to a cutting board.

  4. Step 4

    Add smashed garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet, cook 90 seconds until fragrant, then add honey and red pepper flakes. Stir until combined.

  5. Step 5

    Slice chicken into strips. Top each crostini with a piece of chicken, drizzle with the warm honey sauce, and squeeze lemon over the top.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve immediately while bread is still crisp.
