This easy honey mustard chicken is a one-pan, 30-minute dinner made with tender chicken simmered in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. Naturally thickened and full of flavor, it’s a simple skillet recipe using everyday pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
800g(1¾lb)Boneless Chicken thighs(If using breasts, slice them horizontally for even cooking)
Prep the Chicken - Pat the chicken dry and season well with salt and black pepper. Lightly coat with flour, shaking off any excess.
800 g Boneless Chicken thighs, 1 tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Black pepper, 3 - 4 tbsp Flour
Sear the Chicken - Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden. Remove to a plate — it will finish cooking later.
2 tbsp Olive oil , 1 tbsp Butter
Build the Sauce - In the same skillet, sauté the onions until soft, then add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Stir in the honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, paprika, and thyme.
1 med Red Onion, 3 large Garlic cloves, 60 ml Dijon Mustard , 60 ml Honey, 2 tbsp Soy sauce, ½ tsp Paprika , 180 ml Chicken broth, 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
Simmer - Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C).
Finish & Serve - Uncover, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon if using. Serve hot.
2 tbsp Parsley
