Instructions
- 01
Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken lightly in flour, shaking off excess. Discard any remaining flour.
- 02
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. If needed, brown the chicken in 2 batches.
- 03
Transfer the chicken to a plate and lightly tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- 04
Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan and add shallot, garlic, and rosemary. Cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add chicken broth and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 05
Reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter, mustard, and honey until butter has melted and sauce is smooth. Add chicken back to sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes until chicken is coated and warmed through.
Variations & swaps
Honey Mustard Chicken Variations
- To change up this honey mustard chicken based on your preferences or what you have on hand, consider these variations:
- Heat: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick, or use hot honey for a sweet and spicy twist.
- Herbs: Swap fresh rosemary with dried rosemary, or other fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, sage, or tarragon.
- Creaminess: Stir in a sour cream or heavy cream toward the end of cooking for a rich and creamy texture in the sauce.
- Veggies: For added flavor and nutrition, try adding sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
- Protein: Switch up the protein by using chicken thighs, drumsticks, tenders, or even pork chops instead of the cutlets.
- Citrus: Enhance the sauce with a burst of citrus by adding lemon zest or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also swap some chicken broth with wine for an acidic touch.
