A deliciously tangy and sweet Honey Mustard Chicken recipe perfect for dinner.
Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 700 g chicken tenderloin or chicken breast cut into thick strips (Note 1)
- salt
- pepper
Seasoning (optional)
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Thickener
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (Note 3)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch / cornflour or flour or 2 teaspoon flour
Sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth / stock (250ml)
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard (70g)
- 0.25 cup honey (85g)
Optional Extras
- 1-2 tablespoon wholegrain mustard adjust to taste
- 2 teaspoon sprigs thyme or dried thyme (Note 4)
- Fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper, then toss with Seasoning if using.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and flour.
- Heat 1 ½ tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove onto a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil in the middle of the skillet and put garlic straight onto the puddle of oil. Sauté for 20 seconds or until golden (don’t let it burn).
- Add chicken broth, bring to simmer, scraping the bottom of the fry pan.
- Whisk in Dijon Mustard and honey, then whisk in Thickener (make sure you scrape it all in).
- Add thyme and wholegrain mustard, if using.
- Cook for 1 – 2 minutes or until starting to thicken. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Return chicken and any juices pooled on the plate into the sauce. Turn to coat and reheat through – about 1 ½ minutes – or until sauce is thickened to your taste.
- Serve on mashed potato, garnished with parsley, with a simple side salad.
Notes
Adjust the chicken cuts and seasoning to your preference. Optional extras enhance the flavor.
