"Yes, there are already lots of recipes posted for honey mustard chicken. But this one *is* different and more importantly, it is really good. I prefer this with chicken with bone as is is a bit more juicy, but you could switch to one pound of boneless chicken and reducing the cooking time."

ingredients

1 ¹⁄₂ lbs skinless chicken breasts (4)
2 tablespoons flour
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt (divided)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper, freshly ground is best (divided)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 small red onions, tops trimmed and quartered
1 green pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
2 garlic cloves, minced
³⁄₄ teaspoon lemon zest
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried sage
1 cup low sodium chicken broth (look for fat free)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 -2 tablespoon honey (I prefer just 1, but if you like sweet use a bit more)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
1 tablespoon water (optional)

directions

Cut the chicken with the bone into two inch pieces (use a good sharp knife or kitchen shears). Mix together the flour with 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour.
Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the chicken pieces and cook about 2 minutes per side until the chicken has a nice golden exterior. Transfer chicken to plate.
Using the same skillet, add the red onions, green peppers, lemon zest, sage, garlic and remaining salt and pepper to the pan. Give a quick stir to scrape some of the bits on the bottom of the pan.
Add the chicken broth, mustard and honey and bring the liquid to a low boil. Add the reserved chicken to the pan and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables have softened.
If you like a thicker sauce, bring the pan up to a boil and add a slurry of the water and cornstarch. Stir frequently until the sauce is bubbly and thick, about a minute or so.
I like this with bulgar but rice, white or brown, would work well.

This was quite easy to prepare and is ready in a snap. I didn't like the texture of the flour and it could have been a little more "mustardy" for me. But overall received well by family.

This was so good. Everyone liked it even the 3 yo. She just ate the chicken and not the sauce. I made as is except I added a little garlic powder to the flour salt and pepper. Very easy and quick for weeknight meal. I used boneless chicken tenders.

Very good chicken and vege's! Instead of chicken breasts I used chicken breast tenderloins that I cut into bite size pieces. Loved the zip from the dijon mustard and I also used only 1 tablespoon of honey. This is easy to put together and love that everything was in one pot. Served with brown rice and really enjoyed! Thanks for posting hon!

YUM...this produced a wonderfully moist n tasty chicken dish. I used boneless chicken breast fillets and decided on only the 1 Tbsp of honey. Ours was served over very small roasted potato cubes and green beans. I didn't use cornstarch but simmered with the lid off till the sauce was a little thicker. The potatoes soaked up the sauce and tied it all together nicely.

I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. Some of my favorite public cookbooks include: <li>ladypit's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/33588> WW Core Recipes I Have Tried </a> </li>   <li>shirl(j)831's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/34888> Can this really be lowfat??? </a> </li>   <li>julesong's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/30566> Cooking Light Recipes </a> </li>   <li>mariposa13's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/44690> WW & Lowfat Recipes </a> </li> <img src=http://members.aol.com/sdnt4life/dpg.gif alt=Dirty /> <a href=http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/?action=view&current=kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif alt=FFF#2 width=50% /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Adopted /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=PAC /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZaarWorldTourFirst.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif alt=/ /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt=ZWT3 /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt=width=50% /> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg alt=/ />
