Honey Mustard Chicken with Green Beans
Juicy chicken thighs glazed in honey mustard sauce with tender green beans, all in one pan.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix honey, both mustards, garlic, and thyme to create the sauce.
- Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Pour honey mustard sauce over the chicken and add green beans to the pan.
- Add water or broth, reduce heat to medium, and cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender.
- Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the chicken and green beans.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the honey mustard sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. You can substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli for a different twist. Serve with rice or crusty bread to soak up the delicious glaze.
