Ingredients
  

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown mustard
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut each breast in half horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken under a layer of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
  • Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  • Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet.
  • Heat over medium until the oil starts to sizzle.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked chicken to a tray and cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat with any remaining cutlets.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine honey, mustard, broth, and cornstarch.
  • Pour the honey mustard mixture into the pan and stir until it begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Simmer in the sauce until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reduced slightly.
  • Top with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Try this easy recipe with boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts.
  • When adding cornstarch into a sauce, mix it with a little bit of cold water first to make a cornstarch slurry. This helps avoid lumps in the sauce.
  • If the sauce seems too thick, add an extra splash of chicken stock.
  • When planning for camping, we like to do as much meal prep as possible before we leave. Having easy access to hot running water makes cleanup much easier.
  • Eating raw chicken is a health hazard. To be sure your chicken is fully cooked, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
  • Store any leftover chicken in the fridge or cooler in an airtight container.
