Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together apple cider, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Place chicken in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  2. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve marinade) and sear each side for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
