Honey Mustard Chicken Skillet
SERVINGS 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pound sweet potatoes diced (about 2 small/4 cups diced)
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 pound brussels sprouts shredded (about 6 cups)
- 3 cups kale
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard I like to use grainy
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional toppings: green onion parsley, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- If needed, shred your brussel sprouts. Add the large shredding attachment to your food processor and run them through it. You will only be able to add a handful at once, but it only takes a couple of seconds to shred. Repeat will all your brussels. When finished with brussel sprouts clean and chop 3 cups kale.
- Make your honey mustard sauce. In a small bowl or jar, mix together honey, mustard, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper. Adjust according to taste if needed.
- Heat a large nonstick pan (it needs to be large) over medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add chicken, garlic powder, and salt and pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on the outside and almost cooked through. It’s okay if it’s not all the way cooked, as it will go back in the pan later. Remove from the pan, leaving the juices behind.
- Next, add the remaining oil to your pan. Then add sweet potatoes and onions and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If needed, cover with a lid to help speed up the process, but you don’t want them to steam too much. Next, add the brussel sprouts and kale cook for another 5-7 minutes.
- Add chicken and juices back to the pan. Finally, stir in the maple mustard sauce and mix well to combine. Let warm through and add lemon juice to add a pop of freshness. Enjoy!
