Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons avocado oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard (low-sodium if you can find it)

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with pepper and brown it 2 minutes per side. Move it to a plate.
3. Add the broth, honey, thyme and garlic to the pan and bring to a boil, scraping up the browned bits. Cook 2 minutes.
4. Stir in the vinegar and mustard and cook 1 minute. Return the chicken, spoon the sauce over it, and bake 10 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F.
5. Let the chicken rest 5 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer the sauce on the stove for 2 minutes, until syrupy, and spoon it over the chicken.
