Broiled Chicken Breast with Honey Mustard Sauce
- 4 each chicken breast halves, boneless, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, low salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apricots, dried sliced
- 2 tablespoons walnuts coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley leaves chopped
- 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
- Broiled Chicken:
- Preheat the broiler on high and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan about 6 inches from the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot.
- While the pan is heating, rinse and pat the chicken dry and season with 2TBS lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Leaving the skin on, place the breast (skin side up) on the hot pan.
- It is not necessary to turn the breast because it is cooking on both sides at once.
- Depending on the size, it should be cooked in about 7 minutes.
- Begin preparing the sauce.
- The breast is done when it is moist, yet its liquid runs clear when pierced.
- The inside temperature needs to reach 165 degrees farenheit or 74 degrees celcius.
- Remove the skin before serving; it is left on to keep it moist while broiling.
- Honey-Mustard Sauce:
- For honey-mustard sauce, combine broth, 1TBS lemon juice, honey, and mustard in a small saucepan.
- Whisk together and bring to a boil on high heat.
- Once it comes to a boil, simmer for about 20 minutes.
- You want it to be reduced to a little less than half the volume you start with.
- This will thicken and intensify the flavor.
- Add apricots and cook on high for another 5 minutes.
- When sauce is done add chopped walnuts, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Serve over cooked spinach or other cooked greens.
