Garlic Honey Dijon Chicken
There are no words that can do this dish JUSTICE. I am absolutely in love with this recipe. I found it on Ashlyn Edwards' blog, Belle of the Kitchen, while searching for a recipe with garlic, honey, and dijon mustard, and I am SO incredibly happy that I did. The sauce is sticky & savory with a bit of sweetness, making it the perfect addition to rice and veggies for a quick and easy weeknight dinner! And when I say quick and easy, I am not lying. This is definitely a go-to when my boyfriend & I are busy with work and don't have a chance to plan ahead for dinner.
If you've got these in your kitchen, you're good to go!
-
Chicken
**Her recipe calls for chicken thighs, but my boyfriend prefers leaner cuts, so I always use a package of chicken breasts & will slice them into thin tenders -
Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos (1/4 Cup)
-
Maple Syrup or Honey (3 TBS)
-
Avocado Oil (4 TBS)
-
Garlic Cloves (3-4 cloves, but I use more)
-
Dijon Mustard (2 TBS)
**I like the grainy texture of whole grain dijon, so I personally do 1 TBS of this and 1 TBS of regular dijon, and have included pictures for reference. -
Orange Juice (2 TBS)
**I never have this on hand and always forget to buy it, so every time I've made this dish I haven't included OJ but I bet it tastes bomb. -
Herbs & Seasonings
**Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Rosemary
Now, all you've got to do is season your chicken and whisk together the sauce while it's cooking, then pour the sauce over the chicken & let them cook together, and you're done! It's that easy!
I love to pour all of that extra sauce over my rice - so good!!! I've included a link to her recipe where she gives detailed, easy to follow instructions. Thanks for creating and sharing this, Ashlyn!
