Friday? Is that you? Is that really you? Thank heavens. Lately, I haven’t had time to cook anything very gourmet, so I’ve relied on quick, simple and healthy recipes. I was able to whip up this chicken with honey-beer sauce after work and still eat at a reasonable hour. My kind of meal. :)
Recipe:
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup beer, such as Corona
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. whole-grain honey mustard
1/2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. honey
2 tbsp. fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with pepper and salt. Add chicken to pan; saute 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Add shallots to pan; cook 1 minute or until translucent.
Combine beer, soy sauce, mustard and honey in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Add beer mixture to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup. Return chicken to pan; turn to coat with sauce. Sprinkle evenly with parsley. Serve alongside/atop brown rice, if desired.

Hi Caroline! Would you believe I pulled this same recipe out and actually bought the ingredients to make it today! Great minds think alike. I hope mine looks this good. Glad to hear it whipped fast. I need fast right now too. I hope you’re enjoying the weekend. :)
No way, really?!? That’s too funny, what did you think? Hope you had a nice weekend!
I love recipes that call for a half cup of beer. I get to drink the rest. This looks wonderful.
And that’s exactly what I did. :-D
This all sounds delicious. Our favorite chicken marinade is a beer one. I’m betting this would be a hit as well.
That honey beer sauce looks so delicious, I think that would match any grilled meat as well

Oh that sauce sounds tempting, Caroline!! Looks so so good!

Wow, this is a great recipe, perfect with a side of sweet potato fries!
I don’t drink but this looks mouth-watering!
Who would believe a humble chicken breast and beer could be made to look so good.
Love it.
