Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about 1 minute.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add lemon juice, chopped fresh rosemary, Dijon mustard, and honey to the skillet, stirring until combined.
Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the chicken breasts back to the skillet, coat them generously with the sauce, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, flipping once, to absorb the flavors.
Remove the chicken from the skillet. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the savory chicken chops alongside your favorite vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete high-protein meal.
