Honey Mustard Glazed Chicken with Quinoa
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup Dijon mustard to make the glaze.
- Season the chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Pour the honey mustard glaze over the cooked chicken breasts, reduce the heat to low, and let the glaze simmer for 2-3 minutes, coating the chicken evenly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
- To serve, spoon a generous portion of quinoa onto each plate and top with a honey mustard glazed chicken breast. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
