Ingredients
- 1/3 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons whole grain mustard (level tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic (minced, or 3-4 cloves crushed garlic)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt (to season)
- 5 skinless boneless chicken breasts (or chicken thighs)
- 1/2 cup diced bacon (trimmed of rind and fat, I used 4 small bacon rashers)
- 1/3 cup cream (light or reduced fat, see notes for substitution options.)
- 1 cup milk (skim, 2% or full fat - almond milk may be used for a dairy free option)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (corn flour mixed with 1 tablespoon water)
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
Steps
-
In 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.
-
Heat 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).
-
Add 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.
-
Pour 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.
-
Serve over steamed / roasted vegetables for lower cal options. Also great with pasta, rice or mashed potatoes!
