20-Minute Honey-Mustard Chicken Cutlets

Be the first to rate & review!

There are a few flavor combinations that are always craveworthy. Honey and mustard with chicken never gets old. This recipe uses only one pan for both the cutlets and the luscious sweet and savory sauce, which has a low-sodium broth base. The best part: it can be on the table in 20 minutes.

½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 ½ tablespoons honey

Brie Passano
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.

Brie Passano
Increase heat to medium-high and whisk broth, honey, brown mustard, onion powder and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in the pan. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup, 1 to 2 minutes (the sauce should be thick). Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan and turn to coat with the sauce. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce. Garnish with chives, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
