Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Note: Moisture on the surface prevents a good sear.
  2. Whisk honey, Dijon, oil, lemon juice, garlic, and spices in a medium bowl.
  3. Coat the poultry thoroughly in the Honey Mustard Chicken Marinade.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a tiny splash of oil.
  5. Place the meat in the pan, ensuring there is space between each piece.
  6. Cook for 6 minutes until a golden crust forms and edges look dark.
  7. Flip the pieces carefully to keep the glaze intact on the meat.
  8. Cook for another 6-8 minutes until the center is no longer pink.
  9. Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the meat in the final minute.
  10. Rest for 5 minutes until the juices settle back in.
