Instructions

Cut boneless skinless chicken breast into fillets.

Place chicken breast on a cutting board and holding it flat with a palm of one hand, slice it horizontally into two pieces . You will have 4 chicken cutlets.

Prepare the honey mustard chicken marinade.

Combine honey, mustard, ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper in a large zipper bag. Place chicken in a zipper bag, seal it and toss to coat chicken in a honey-mustard mixture.

Sear the chicken.

Melt butter in a medium non-stick pan and over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side until nice and brown. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Prepare the cornstarch mixture.

In a small bowl, dissolve corn starch in 3 tablespoon of chicken broth.

Prepare the cornstarch mixture.

To the same pan add the remaining chicken broth, thyme, Crème Fraîche, corn starch mixture, the remaining honey-mustard mixture and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Give everything a stir scraping the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan.

Finish the creamy honey mustard chicken.

Add chicken back to the pan and cook for a few more minutes until the chicken is tender (internal temperature reaches 165 F) and sauce has thickened. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!

Notes

Mustard. I love using Dijon mustard, however you can use a mix of whole grain mustard and yellow mustard.
Crème Fraîche. If you don't have Crème Fraîche, simply mix together 2.5 tablespoons of sour cream and 2.5 tablespoon of heavy cream. Voila!
Low Carb and Keto version. If you’re following low carb or Ketogenic diet, here’s how to make this recipe compliant:1. replace the cornstarch with the same amount of coconut flour;2. replace honey with ½ teaspoon of Stevia Liquid Concentrate.
Make it with chicken thighs or drumsticks. In step 6, when you add seared chicken back into the pan with the sauce, cook meat for 10-15 more minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
Storage tips. Store any leftovers of your honey mustard chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave it until it's warm all the way through or on the stovetop on medium-high heat.
You can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding a little chicken broth to it if it's too thick.
I don't recommend freezing this dish because the sauce contains cream. Cream-based sauces tend to separate when defrosted and reheated. The honey mustard chicken will still taste delicious but it won't have the same texture.
