Description
Tangy honey mustard chicken paired with crisp green beans, this easy skillet recipe offers a simple, balanced, and satisfying dinner option that’s perfect for busy weeknights or quick meals.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey (or keto syrup)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Vegetables
- 2 cups green beans
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, honey (or keto syrup), and olive oil until well combined to create the honey mustard sauce.
- Coat the Chicken: Brush the honey mustard sauce evenly onto both sides of the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully covered for maximum flavor.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear each side for 3–4 minutes until they develop a golden crust.
- Add Green Beans and Cook: Add the green beans to the skillet alongside the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the green beans are crisp-tender.
Notes
- Try using grainy mustard instead of Dijon for a bolder texture and flavor contrast.
- You can substitute the green beans with asparagus or snap peas for variation.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on the thickness of the chicken breasts to ensure they are fully cooked.
