Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless (680g)
  • 1/3 cup Honey liquid (80ml)
  • 2 tbsp Whole Grain Mustard for texture (30ml)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard (30ml)
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil for searing (30ml)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped (15ml)
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary small

Equipment

  • 1 Oven-safe skillet Cast iron works best for searing
  • 1 Small mixing bowl For whisking the glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, both mustards, and minced garlic until a thick glaze forms.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until deep brown caramelization appears on the edges.
  2. Pour the glaze over the chicken and place rosemary sprigs in the pan. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until the glaze is glossy and bubbling.
  3. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.

Notes

Dry the chicken thoroughly for the best sear.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temp reaches 165°F.
