Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, flipping carefully to avoid breaking the crust.
Step 4: While chicken cooks, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp local Arkansas honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5: When chicken is cooked, reduce heat to low and spoon the honey mustard glaze over each piece, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken.
Step 6: Remove from heat and let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
