Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
While the chicken cooks, whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
-
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
-
Serve hot, and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions if desired.
Notes
-
Variations: Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy twist. For a one-pan meal, consider adding bell peppers, onions, or snap peas to the skillet while cooking the chicken.
-
Substitutions: For a gluten-free version, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce. If you don’t have honey, maple syrup or agave nectar can be used as substitutes.
-
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can reheat in a skillet or microwave with a little chicken broth or water.
