Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 Onion or shallots, finely diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
  • 1 cup Basmati or Jasmine rice
  • Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken thighs or breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and sear for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add another teaspoon of olive oil if needed, and sauté the onion until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits. Whisk in the honey and Dijon mustard, add thyme and rosemary, and bring to a simmer.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. If oven-safe, transfer to a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes, or simmer on the stovetop over low heat for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
  5. Simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes to thicken, or whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry and stir it into the sauce.
  6. Prepare the rice according to package directions.
  7. Spoon rice onto plates, place the chicken over or beside it, and drizzle with honey mustard sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium chicken broth for better control over saltiness.
  • Adjust honey and mustard to taste for desired sweetness and tanginess.
  • Substitute fresh herbs with dried if necessary, but adjust the quantities accordingly.
