Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise to make 4 pieces
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 2 tbsps. all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsps. olive oil light tasting

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • ¾ cup chicken broth low sodium
  • ¼ cup honey or less if you like it less sweet
  • ¼ cup coarse Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsps. mustard seeds old style mustard
  • ½ lemon squeezed
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • ¾ tsp. black pepper or less to taste
  • ½ tsp. fine rosemary dry
  • ¼ tsp. ginger powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to get 4 slices of chicken breasts.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, pepper and then sprinkle on the chicken breast to coat them.
  • In another bowl or cup, mix together all the sauce ingredients.
  • Bring a non stick skillet over medium heat and add in the olive oil. Pan sear the chicken breasts on each side for 4-5 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  • Once, the chicken has cooked, pour the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, and reduce the heat to medium-low to continue cooking the chicken with the sauce for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with some freshly chopped parsley, then serve.

Notes

  • Make is spicy by adding some sriracha sauce, cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
  • Adjust the honey to make it sweeter or less sweet.
  • If you don't have chicken breasts, you can swap with chicken thighs, just adjust the cook time.
  • The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken breasts is 165 F so if you're not sure if your pan seared chicken is done, you can use an instant read thermometer.
  • The cook time for the chicken breasts are quick as we slice the chicken breasts in half so they're not as thick.
