Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons shallots
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons capers
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium, and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the honey, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and lemon juice to the skillet. Whisk together to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the capers and let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the chicken through and let it absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
