Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard optional for texture
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or green onions optional, for garnish

Method
 

Season the Chicken
  1. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sear the Chicken
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. It doesn't need to be cooked through yet.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), honey, garlic, and water until smooth.
Add Sauce and Simmer
  1. Pour the sauce over the chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the chicken simmer for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Add Cheese
  1. Sprinkle shredded cheese over each piece of chicken. Cover again and cook for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve
  1. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley or green onions if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that using boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts works wonderfully here; they stay incredibly juicy and absorb the flavors beautifully.
