Description
Delicious honey mustard chicken breasts seared to perfection and served with a sweet and tangy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
- to taste salt & pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon flour (for dredging)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- to taste fresh chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you’ve got 4 thinner cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt & pepper, the garlic powder, and then coat each piece in flour and shake off any excess.
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan get hot for a few minutes before adding the chicken.
- Sear the chicken for about 4-5 minutes/side until golden and almost cooked through, then transfer it to a plate.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan and let it melt, then sprinkle the flour in. Let it cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute (stir it a couple times).
- Whisk the chicken broth in until the flour dissolves, then add in the mustards and honey and continue whisking until smooth.
- Add the chicken back to the pan (and any juices from the plate), and let it cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through (165F) and the sauce has thickened up a bit. You may need to turn the heat down if it’s boiling hard (you want it to bubble fairly gently).
- Season with extra salt & pepper if needed and serve immediately with fresh parsley sprinkled over top if desired. You may adjust the sweetness by reducing the honey if preferred.
Notes
- This sauce is quite sweet, as you’d expect from honey mustard. Reducing the honey will make it less sweet, but consider adjusting other ingredients to maintain balance.
