Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the chicken breasts. Sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F), then remove from pan and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium-low and add 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to the skillet. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky.
  4. Step 4: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the honey mustard glaze over them to coat evenly for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Plate the chicken and garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
