Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup chicken broth (optional for deglazing)
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, and in the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour the honey mustard mixture into the skillet and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. If the glaze is too thick, add chicken broth, one tablespoon at a time, to reach desired consistency.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the honey mustard sauce over them, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the chicken is well-coated and warmed through.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
