Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken
Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken: perfectly tender and smothered in a rich and creamy honey mustard sauce, this dish is packed with flavor and incredibly comforting. Serve this chicken over fluffy rice and pair it with a zesty Curtido salad (recipe included) for a delicious tropical dinner. (Naturally Gluten-Free).
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon mustard room temperature
- 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup (200 g) heavy cream room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb (453 g) chicken breasts
- 1-2 cloves garlic roughly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the honey mustard sauce. In a medium bowl, add the honey and mustard. Mix until combined, then pour in the heavy cream and mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Saute the chicken. Add the olive oil to a large skillet over low heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and saute for a 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the honey mustard sauce. Allow the sauce to reach a simmer, then cover the skillet and cook over medium-low or low heat for 10-15 minutes. If you'd like a thicker sauce, add in the cornstarch and water mixture (make sure the cornstarch has dissolved completely before adding it to the sauce) and mix well. Skip this step if you want the sauce to be runny. Flip the chicken and cook covered for another 5-10 minutes.
- Serve over rice and along with a zesty Curtido Salad* (see notes).
Notes
To make the Curtido Salad (zesty Ecuatorian fresh tomato and onion salad): combine 2 chopped tomatoes, 1/2 red onion (minced), 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper to taste.
Storing Instructions: store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop adding 1-2 tablespoon of heavy cream if needed. Reheat until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F.
