Main Ingredients

  • 6 pieces boneless skinless chicken thighs tenderness and moisture

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt enhances flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds mild heat
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for slight smokiness

Honey Dijon Sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey provides sweetness
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard adds tang and depth
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard for texture

Other Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced offers aromatic flavor
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth for moisture and sauce base
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cooking the Chicken

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
  • Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Flip each thigh and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until golden on both sides.

Making the Sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard until smooth.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the honey Dijon mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
