Chicken Honey?

Here is a wonderful (and diabetic-friendly) recipe for Honey-Dijon Chicken that I have pirated from The Complete Diabetes Prevention Plan.  I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think of it.  Personally, I love it.  

Honey-Dijon Chicken
Ingredients
  • 3/4 tsp herbs de provence
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb chicken tenders (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts), cut into 8 equal pieces and pounded 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsps thinly sliced scallions

Sauce Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup pus 2 Tbsps chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp honey

Directions
  1. Combine the herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Sprinkle some of the mixture over both sides of the chicken pieces.
  2. Coat a large non-stick skillet with the olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until nicely browned.  Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 3 more minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  5. Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir to mix well.  Add the sauce to the skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.  Cook for a minute or two, stirring frequently, until the mixture is reduced by half.
  6. Serve by placing chicken on a plate and drizzling the sauce over the chicken pieces and top with a sprinkling of scallions.
