Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt
Creamy Honey Mustard Sauce
- ¼ cup 40g diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic diced
- 2 tbsp 30ml white wine
- 2.5 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- ¼ cup 60ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken
- In a bowl, season the boneless chicken thighs with black pepper, paprika, and salt.
- Toss until the chicken is evenly coated on all sides.
Pan-sear the chicken
- Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat.
- Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics
- Using the same pan, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.
Make the honey mustard sauce
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Use a spatula to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom, since that's where a lot of the flavor is.
- Add the mustard and honey, then stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Pour in the heavy cream and mix until you have a smooth, creamy sauce.
Finish the sauce and serve
- Add chopped parsley and season with salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 30 seconds, then return the chicken to the pan and coat it in the sauce.
