Honey Mustard Chicken
Description
This dish begins by seasoning boneless, skinless chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper and pan-searing them to develop a golden crust. The sauce is prepared in the same pan using vegetable broth to deglaze, followed by adding honey and two types of mustard to build a layered sweet and tangy flavor profile. Simmering the chicken uncovered in this sauce both tenderizes the poultry and thickens the sauce.
The flavor balance in the sauce complements the mild chicken while the cooking approach delivers moist meat with a flavorful coating. Using whole grain and Dijon mustards adds texture and depth. After cooking, resting the chicken lets the juices redistribute, ensuring the meat remains juicy upon serving.
This recipe pairs well with a variety of side dishes, such as vegetables, rice, or potatoes, providing versatility for meals throughout the week.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and kept for up to four days for optimal freshness.
Ingredients
- 4 ounce chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup vegetable broth low sodium
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup whole grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side. The chicken does not need to be completely cooked through, just golden brown. Transfer to a parchment-lined plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium, add the vegetable broth to deglaze the pan. Then add the honey, whole grain mustard and Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
- Bring mixture to a low boil, then add the chicken to the sauce and continue cooking, uncovered. Stir the sauce occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender, about 10 minutes.
- Allow to rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; they remain good for up to 4 days.
