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