Instructions

Generously sprinkle salt and pepper on your chicken breasts to enhance the flavor.
In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes until golden brown.
In the same skillet, toss in chopped shallots and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes.
Stir in lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Finally, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Notes

This dish can be served with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
