Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of honey and 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard. Set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
