Easy Honey Mustard Chicken
Description
This recipe blends honey with yellow and Dijon mustard to create a sweet-savory sauce that's whisked together and adjusted to taste. Chicken breasts or tenders are seared over medium-high heat until nearly cooked through, then coated with the honey mustard sauce on both sides to build flavor layers.
Broccoli florets are added to the skillet and stirred to coat with the sauce before steaming under a cover on medium-low heat, allowing the broccoli to reach a crisp-tender texture while the chicken finishes cooking. The final dish presents juicy, flavorful chicken pieces with vibrant, sauce-glazed broccoli alongside.
The use of both yellow and Dijon mustards contributes depth, while the stovetop method keeps preparation straightforward without baking or frying in oil. Serving immediately ensures the broccoli remains crisp and the chicken juicy.
Ingredients
- ½ cup honey or to taste
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard grainy or spicy brown mustard may be substituted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- chicken breast I used breast tenders, boneless skinless, about 1.25 pounds
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 2 to 3 cups broccoli florets
Instructions
- To a medium bowl, add the honey and mustards and whisk to combine. Taste and check for flavor balance, adding more honey or mustard to taste if necessary; set aside.
- To a large skillet, add the oil and chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 to 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on the second side. Cooking time will vary on the thickness of the chicken. Chicken should be about 90% cooked through.
- Evenly drizzle the honey mustard over the chicken and flip each piece over a few times to ensure both sides are coated evenly.
- Add the broccoli and stir to combine, making sure the broccoli gets coated with honey mustard. Cover and cook over medium-low heat allowing broccoli to steam for about 3 to 5 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender and chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.
