Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Season the Chicken:
    • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Sear the Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  • Prepare the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
    • Whisk in Dijon mustard, honey, whole-grain mustard, chicken broth, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth and combined.
  • Simmer the Chicken:
    • Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cover and simmer on low heat for 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve:
    • Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce drizzled over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if desired.

Notes

  • Optional Additions: Add a splash of heavy cream for a creamier sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side of crusty bread.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
