This very easy skillet chicken dish for eight is ready to serve in under a half hour including preparations. Whether you’re just tired after a long day and looking for something quick to serve the family or having an elegant dinner gathering, this is the perfect go to dish. Served quickly even with the addition of a side dish of steamed vegetables or a garden salad.
You may prepare a garden salad ahead of time or may even prepare just before starting the chicken dish with very little added prep time (especially if purchasing already prepared salad greens). If going for steamed veggies, you can have your steamed vegetables set up and ready to simply turn on the heat at the appropriate time so that they come out hot and the perfect tenderness — without being soggy and overcooked — as soon as the chicken is done.
Cut four large boneless skinless chicken breasts into eight halves.
Sprinkle seasonings over both sides of the chicken halves.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
Add chicken and cook 7-8 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink.
Transfer chicken to serving platter in a single side by side layer.
Reduce heat to medium low. Add vinegar and honey to skillet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until glaze thickens. Make sure to stir constantly.
Pour in lemon juice (optional) and then quickly stir or whisk in the mustard until evenly combined — then drizzle glaze over chicken.
You are ready to serve!
