Directions
- 1
Rinse the chicken fillets under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt and pepper until you have a smooth, even glaze.
- 3
Coat the fillets generously with the honey mustard mixture and let them rest for 5–10 minutes so the flavors can penetrate.
- 4
Heat a splash of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the fillets 4–5 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through.
- 5
Scatter with freshly chopped parsley and serve at once alongside steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra depth, stir a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard and a squeeze of lemon juice into the glaze before coating. You can also bake the fillets at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20 minutes for a lighter, hands-off version.
