How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Prepare sauce mixture: in a bowl, mix the mustard, honey, and cream or yogurt until you obtain a homogeneous sauce. Taste and adjust honey/mustard ratio according to desired sweetness.
- Season the chicken: Pat the fillets dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Brown the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and brown the fillets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and reserve.
- Cook the sauce: Lower the heat to medium, pour the honey mustard mixture into the pan and heat for 1–2 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly; Scrape away any remains from the base to take advantage of flavors.
- Add the chicken: Add the chicken to the pan, partially cover, and cook for 6–8 minutes over medium-low heat, basting with the sauce, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is the desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or broth.
- Plating: Taste and adjust salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with baked potatoes, rice, or sautéed vegetables.
