Honey Mustard Chicken with Rice

These honey mustard chicken bites taste so good for how easy they are to make.

They’re mildly sweet and tangy at the same time.

And the color of this chicken looks so vibrant and appetizing.

About this Recipe

This recipe is made with just 7 simple ingredients…and that includes the salt and pepper.

Boneless skinless chicken breasts are cut into bite-pieces and seasonings are added.

The chicken is lightly browned in a skillet until it’s cooked through (less than 10 minutes).

Next, the honey mustard sauce is added to the chicken and cooked briefly until the sauce starts to reduce.

Then it’s ready to serve.

About the Honey Mustard Sauce

The honey mustard sauce is made with honey and prepared yellow mustard.

About Serving

Add a side of green salad, and or vegetables…and dinner is served.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Honey Mustard Sauce – Honey and yellow prepared mustard

Honey Mustard Chicken – Boneless skinless chicken breasts, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, ground black pepper and honey mustard sauce

Equipment – A large skillet: If using a non-stick skillet, no oil is needed; If using an uncoated skillet (such as stainless steel or ceramic), some olive oil is needed.

For Serving – Cooked white or brown rice

HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.

For the Rice:

Rinse and drain the rice.

To a rice cooker, add the rice…

…and water (according to the directions on the package of rice).

As an option, butter and/or salt can also be added.

Cover the rice cooker with a lid and set on cook.

While the rice is cooking, make the honey mustard sauce and chicken.

Honey Mustard Sauce:

In a small bowl…

…add yellow prepared mustard and…

…honey.

Whisk together and set aside.

TIP – If the chicken breasts used in the recipe are large, increase both the honey and mustard by 1 tablespoon.

Cut and Season the Chicken:

Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces (about 1-1/2-inch pieces).

Transfer the cut pieces of chicken into a small to medium-size bowl.

To the bowl add salt…

…granulated garlic…

…onion powder and…

…ground black pepper.

Using cooking tongs or a large spoon, mix the chicken until it’s coated with the seasonings.

Cook the Chicken:

TIP – If using an uncoated skillet such as stainless steel or ceramic, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan before heating it.

If using a non-stick skillet, no olive oil should be needed.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat and add the cut pieces of seasoned chicken.

Using a spatula, spread out the chicken so that each piece is touching the pan (to brown each piece).

Let the chicken cook without stirring it for a couple minutes or until the bottom sides of the chicken are lightly browned.

Using a spatula, stir the chicken so that the other sides of the chicken can brown.

TIP – If the chicken is cooking too fast, turn the heat down and stir the chicken.

TIP – Be careful not to overcook the chicken or it will be dry and tough.

Once the chicken is cooked through (about 6 to 8 minutes), turn the heat down to low and…

…add the honey mustard sauce…reserving 2 tablespoons of sauce (to top the chicken when serving).

Stir to coat the pieces of chicken with honey mustard sauce.

When the honey mustard sauce just starts to slightly reduce, turn off the heat and remove the pan from the burner.

Time to serve.

Serve:

Serve the chicken right away…

…over warm rice.

Top the chicken bites with the reserved honey mustard sauce and…

…time to eat.
