Easy Honey Mustard Chicken
This dish combines the sweetness of honey with the tang of mustard, creating a delightful glaze for juicy chicken and tender broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.
Ingredients
For the Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey Provides natural sweetness
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard Adds classic mustard flavor and bright color
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard Introduces subtle smoothness and a hint of spice
For the Chicken and Broccoli
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts Main protein source
- 2 tbsp olive oil Used for cooking
- 1 tsp salt Enhances overall flavor
- 1/2 tsp pepper Adds mild heat
- 3 cups broccoli florets Offers crunchy texture and nutritional value
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, add the honey and mustards and whisk to combine. Adjust sweetness and tang to taste. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cooking
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on one side until golden brown.
- Turn the chicken over and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes on the other side until nearly cooked through.
- Drizzle the prepared honey mustard sauce over the chicken, ensuring an even coating.
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stir well to combine, and cover the pan.
- Cook over medium-low heat for about 3 to 5 minutes until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the chicken is fully cooked. Serve immediately.
Notes
To keep chicken juicy, avoid overcooking. Marinate chicken in honey mustard mixture for added flavor. Broil for a caramelized finish, and chop broccoli uniformly for even cooking.
