Honey Mustard Chicken

A quick and healthy chicken recipe to serve your family for lunch or dinner with perfectly balanced flavors. A decadent meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

• 4 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts 4 oz each
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground mustard seed
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper or to taste
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/8 tsp ground pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil divided

Mustard sauce:

• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp chicken stock
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce or to taste
• a small handful of fresh thyme to garnish

Instructions:

1. Combine all the spices and rub the chicken thoroughly on all sides.
2. In a small bowl combine all the mustard sauce ingredients.
3. Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add the oil and sear the chicken on both sides for 2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375°F.
5. Transfer the chicken to an oven-safe dish and pour over the mustard sauce. Bake until cooked through, about 15-25 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts).
6. The internal temperature of each chicken breast should read 165F.

Notes:

• Chicken: We prefer using chicken breast, but you may use boneless and skinless thighs. You can swap the chicken with seafood if you prefer. Salmon or white fish will work well.
• Chicken stock, vegetable stock, or water will work
• Oil: use any oil. Avocado or grapeseed oil will be good too.
• Honey: maple syrup will be a good option as a substitute.
