Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Instructions

  • Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined.
  • Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Marinate: Place the chicken in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour half of the honey mustard sauce over the chicken, coating each piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Remove chicken from the marinade and place in skillet. Reserve the marinade sauce.
  • Brown and cook through: Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Pour reserved marinade into skillet during the last 2-3 minutes and simmer gently to thicken.
  • Rest before serving: Remove chicken from pan and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite sides.
