Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard level tablespoons
- 1 ½ tablespoons garlic minced, or 3-4 cloves crushed garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt to season
- 5 skinless boneless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
- ½ cup diced bacon trimmed of rind and fat, I used 4 small bacon rashers
- ⅓ cup cream light or reduced fat, see notes for substitution options.
- 1 cup milk skim, 2% or full fat - almond milk may be used for a dairy free option
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch corn flour mixed with 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a large, shallow dish, combine the honey, mustard, garlic, oil and salt to taste (not too much salt if serving with bacon as the bacon will add a salty flavour when served). Coat chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
- Heat a nonstick pan (or skillet) over medium heat. Fry bacon until crispy; transfer to a plate. To the same pan, sear chicken fillets on each side in the oil left over from the bacon until just beginning to brown (about 3 minutes per side -- not completely cooked through as we will finish them in the sauce).
- Add any remaining honey mustard sauce into the pan along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally to mix the favours through the sauce (about 3 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate.
- Pour the cornstarch mixture into the centre of the pan, mixing it through the sauce until it thickens. Place chicken back into the pan; coat with the sauce. Top with the bacon and garnish with parsley.
- Serve over steamed / roasted vegetables for lower cal options. Also great with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes!

Notes
- *Replace the cream with milk of your choice. Just make sure you LOVE the flavour of the milk you are using as it will impact the flavour of your sauce! I recommend skim, 2% or full fat. You can also use almond milk for a dairy free option.Nutritional information is based per serve, including cream.
