This dish brings together tender chicken in a rich, tangy, and slightly sweet glaze of honey, mustard, and soy sauce. I paired it with penne pasta infused with garlic and fresh parsley. It’s a perfect dinner for a busy weeknight.
The chicken is seared locking in its juiciness, while the sauce provides a perfect balance of savory and sweet.
HELPFUL HINTS:
Any type of short cut pasta can be used.
Any type of vegetable spray can be used.
If the chicken is more than 1/2-inch thick, cut it in half lengthwise.
COUNTDOWN:
Place water for pasta on to boil.
Start to cook chicken.
Add penne to the boiling water.
