Ingredients
- •Honey(80g)
- •Mustard, Whole Grain(45g)
- •Garlic(23g)
- •Olive oil(15g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •1 pinch salt (to season)
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •Bacon(120g)
- •Cream, Heavy Whipping(80g)
- •2% Milk(240g)
- •Cornstarch(5g)
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)
Instructions
- 1In a large, shallow dish, combine the honey, mustard, garlic, oil and salt to taste (not too much salt if serving with bacon as the bacon will add a salty flavour when served). Coat chicken evenly in the sauce. Set aside.
- 2Heat a nonstick pan (or skillet) over medium heat. Fry bacon until crispy; transfer to a plate. To the same pan, sear chicken fillets on each side in the oil left over from the bacon until just beginning to brown (about 3 minutes per side -- not completely cooked through as we will finish them in the sauce).
- 3Add any remaining honey mustard sauce into the pan along with the cream and milk. Bring to a simmer while stirring occasionally to mix the favours through the sauce (about 3 minutes), until the chicken is cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a warm plate.
- 4Pour the cornstarch mixture into the centre of the pan, mixing it through the sauce until it thickens. Place chicken back into the pan; coat with the sauce. Top with the bacon and garnish with parsley.
- 5Serve over steamed / roasted vegetables for lower cal options. Also great with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes!
