Quick, flavorful, and satisfying, this dish combinesGerman-inspired flavors with simple ingredients for a weeknight delight.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in honey and Dijon mustard, cooking for 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Prepare rice according to package instructions, using chicken broth for extra flavor. You can use a rice cooker for convenience.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.
  5. Serve the chicken over the rice, drizzled with extra sauce and garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier option, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Ensure the Dijon mustard and rice are gluten-free if necessary.
  • Reheat leftovers gently to maintain texture.
