Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken

Skip to Recipe
Well, it was our 7th Wedding Anniversary last weekend. Though I was disappointed for not being able to carry out our travel plan, I was grateful that my husband and I were together. And that was all that mattered. Our relationship has evolved so much over these years, and so have I as an individual. What I have realized in these years is that marriage is not always being mushy-gushy in love, but the small and thoughtful gestures of care and adoration.


We spent the whole day together, enjoying good food, playing cards, watching an old movie that we both love, and going through our old travel memories. With all the restaurants closed at the moment, I decided to create a gourmet dinner to surprise my significant other. For the celebratory meal, I chose recipes that were simple yet elegant.

The Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken is a one-pan skillet recipe that comes together within half an hour and is sure to become your new favorite! Tender chicken breasts simmered in a luscious honey mustard sauce-this one is so tempting!

Are you wondering what to serve with this? This chicken goes well with mashed potatoes,pan-seared vegetables, or even with some hot rice. I paired it with some Garlic Roasted Potatoes , which is a favorite of mine.

Note: Please make sure you use heavy cream or whipping cream for this recipe. It has a lovely, smooth texture and flavor that's hard to replicate. Also, the sauce is more likely to curdle if you use any other kind of cream or milk.

• 4 cloves garlic,minced
• Flour for dredging
• Salt,to taste
• Black pepper,to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard,or any other mustard of your choice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup heavy/whipping cream

Instructions:

1. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them horizontally into two pieces, so that you have 4 smaller chicken cutlets. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and then coat them in the flour.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook them for 4-5 minutes each side or until they're golden. Once they turn brown, take them out of the pan and set them aside.
4. Add the butter to the skillet and then add the minced garlic. Fry them for a few minutes.
5. Take the pan off the heat and add the chicken broth, mustard, and the honey.
6. Return the pan to the stove and adjust the heat to medium. Stir the sauce until the mustard has dissolved. Make sure the liquid doesn't reduce completely.
7. Add the cream now. Once the sauce is bubbling, add the chicken pieces back in the skillet. Let it cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
8. Serve hot with the side dish of your choice.
