Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 spritz olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, low-sodium soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the cooking surface with olive oil spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. (The internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C.)
Reduce the heat to low and pour the honey glaze mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Use a spoon to coat the chicken evenly with the glaze.
Simmer the chicken in the glaze for an additional 3-4 minutes, flipping the breasts occasionally, until the sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the chicken to a serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley if using, and serve immediately.
