Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Hot sauce (such as sriracha or cayenne hot sauce)
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4. Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, and hot sauce. Whisk until combined.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.
6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the hot honey mustard sauce over the chicken to coat it. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
8. Serve the chicken breasts with the sauce spooned over the top. This dish pairs well with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
