Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 5.3 oz each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for searing the chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt for chicken seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper for chicken seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12.3 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for green beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for green beans
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper for green beans
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional for garnish

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.

Cooking

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Brush the tops of the chicken with the honey mustard sauce, saving 2 tablespoons for serving.
  • Arrange the trimmed green beans around the chicken in the skillet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the green beans are tender yet crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 3 minutes. Drizzle with the reserved sauce and garnish with lemon zest if desired before serving.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked perfectly. Feel free to adjust mustard and honey ratios to taste. For added flavor, marinate chicken in honey mustard sauce for a few hours before cooking.
